Title:
View looking S.E. up the valley of the Lamar Tiver with the Yellowstone Park Buffalo Ranch near at hand. On out right, rising
from the valley, we see the long slopes of Specimen Ridge, where the Fossil Forest is to be found. In the far distance up
the valley are some of the peaks of the Absaroka Range. The Buffalo Ranch itself is an interesting place with its big yards
enclosed by massive fences 8 and 10 ft. high built of pine logs, where the buffalo are confined in winter and at other times
when for any reason it is desired to separate some of the animals from the herd of about 900 which live in the Park, normally
in their native wild state. The residence of Mr. Lacombe, the manager of the Buffalo Ranch, is the house which we see farthest
to the right with a flag pole in front of it. "Bob" Lacombe is a typical Western ranchman who is quite in his element looking
after the Buffalo Ranch. Sometimes he has as many as 24 men working for him at the ranch, particularly in summer when hay
is being cut in the river valley for the sustenance of the buffalo during the long months of the winter. The Buffalo Ranch
at that season is isolated place in which to live. Snow shoes are most convenient mode of traveling for the splendid Park
highways are buried in snow many feet deep. The nearest inhabited place then is Mammoth Hot Springs, nearly 30 miles distant
over the mountains to the westward. At Mammoth throughout the winter there is a little colony of about 100 people, most of
them Park Rangers and their families living in...
