IN 1872, UNITED STATES PRESIDENT ULYSSES S. GRANT
SIGNED A BILL DESIGNATING YELLOWSTONE AS AMERICA'S FIRST
NATIONAL PARK. IN FACT, IT WAS THE FIRST
NATIONAL PARK IN THE WORLD. MORE THAN THAT, IT WAS THE
BIRTH OF A NEW IDEA--THE PRESERVATION OF A NATURAL
SITE OF NOTABLE BEAUTY AND IMPORTANCE.
THE IDEA CAUGHT ON, AND OVER THE NEXT 44 YEARS, ANOTHER 34
NATIONAL PARKS AND MONUMENTS, ALONG WITH AN AGENCY TO
MAINTAIN THEM, WERE CREATED. HERE AT YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL
PARK, WE MARK THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE FOUNDING
OF THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE, AND WE CELEBRATE WHAT AUTHOR
AND ENVIRONMENTALIST WALLACE STEGNER CALLED "THE BEST IDEA
[AMERICA] EVER HAD." "ABSOLUTELY AMERICAN,
ABSOLUTELY DEMOCRATIC," STEGNER WROTE, "[NATIONAL
PARKS] REFLECT US AT OUR BEST."
FOR A RELATIVELY NEW NATION SEEKING TO DISTINGUISH ITSELF
FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD, THE NATIONAL PARKS HELPED
GIVE AMERICA A CULTURAL IDENTITY.
EUROPE HAD ITS ANCIENT CASTLES AND PALACES--ALL
SYMBOLS OF MONARCHY AND SOCIAL CLASS; THE UNITED
STATES HAD STUNNING NATURAL BEAUTY ON AN EPIC SCALE--A
GRAND CANYON; AMAZING GEYSERS; MAJESTIC HERDS OF
BISON, ELK, AND OTHER WILDLIFE; AND THE BIGGEST
TREES IN THE WORLD--ALL SYMBOLS OF THE GRAND
ASPIRATIONS OF ITS PEOPLE. THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE NOW
CARES FOR 409 SITES SPREAD OVER MORE THAN 84 MILLION
ACRES IN ALL 50 STATES, THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA,
AND SEVERAL U.S. TERRITORIES. EVERY YEAR, VISITORS COME BY
THE TENS OF MILLIONS TO SEE BEAUTY THAT MAN COULD NOT
CREATE BUT COULD AT LEAST PRESERVE.
STEPHEN MATHER, THE FIRST DIRECTOR OF THE NATIONAL PARK
SERVICE, DECLARED THAT THE NATIONAL PARKS WERE INTENDED
FOR ALL TO ENJOY. "A VISIT [TO ONE] INSPIRES
LOVE OF COUNTRY; BEGETS CONTENTMENT; ENGENDERS PRIDE
OF POSSESSION; CONTAINS THE ANTIDOTE FOR NATIONAL
RESTLESSNESS ... HE IS A BETTER CITIZEN WITH A KEENER
APPRECIATION OF THE PRIVILEGE OF LIVING HERE WHO HAS TOURED
THE NATIONAL PARKS. [THEY] DO NOT BELONG TO ONE
STATE," HE SAID. "THEY ... ARE NATIONAL
PROPERTIES IN WHICH EVERY CITIZEN HAS A VESTED INTEREST."
MAGNIFICENT PLACES LIKE YELLOWSTONE--AND AMERICA'S
OTHER NATIONAL PARKS--INSPIRE AWE AND REVERENCE.
THEY TAKE US BACK TO A TIME WHEN VERY LITTLE SEPARATED US
FROM NATURE. BUT THEY ARE MORE THAN HIKING
TRAILS AND CAMPGROUNDS, MORE THAN SCENIC VISTAS AND
WILDLIFE PRESERVES. THEY ARE OUR NATION'S "COMMON
GROUND",LOVINGLY GUARDED AND PRESERVED FOR A CENTURY BY
THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE. ♪♪ ♪♪ ♪ I SEE TREES OF GREEN,
