One of my favorite bloggers, texwisgirl, saw your post here and mentioned it to me since I have just posted a couple of entries on my blog about Yellowstone in the early 1900s. How neat it is for you to share this rare old journal with the photos! I've been collecting YNP memorabilia for years and it is uncommon to find such good photos taken by private individuals. You are correct about the tour being on the stagecoach. In 1915 the only ways to see the park were via horseback, stage, or walking. I doubt if many walked. :-) Often, the tours started at the rail depots near the Park's north and west entrances. I have some photos on my blogs that will show you the scene. I could go on and on, but anyway, this is just a great post. Hope you will stop by and check out my blog.
