ABSTRACT
And in future what a splendid contemplation... when one... imagines them as they might be seen, by some great protecting policy of government preserved in their pristine beauty and wildness, in a magnificent park, where the world could see for ages to come, the native Indian in his classic attire, galloping his wild horse, with sinewy bow, and shield and lance, amid the fleeting herds of elks and buffaloes... A nation's Park, containing man and beast, in all the wild and freshness of their nature's beauty!
