FOR MOST OFAugust 1883 a military expedition headed by President
Chester A. Arthur and guided by Lt. Gen. Philip Sheridan crossed
500 miles of lightly settled Wyoming Territory. The goal was to
reach Yellowstone National Park and tour it before returning to
civilization. Arthur was the first president to visit the park, and
the only president to make an extensive overland march, mostly on
horseback. A primary objective of the expedition was to raise the
awareness of U.S. citizens to the attractions along the route, and
the need for preservation of the park, which was threatened by
vandalism, commercial development, and official neglect.
