註釋
One hundred and twenty years ago, on March 1, 1872, Yellowstone became the first national park, a two-million-acre tract of wilderness preserved for the public's benefit and enjoyment. In the Gilded Age of rampant exploitation of public lands, how did such a radically different land-use concept suddenly gain government sanction? Who conceived of the idea? Was it a purely altruistic notion- or were there other motives? --First paragraph.
