NATIONAL PARK SERVICE HISTORY
Directors'/Superintendents' Annual Reports
In 1872 Nathaniel Pitt Langford, the Superintendent
of the Yellowstone National Park, sent the first annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior concerning the condition of Yellowstone
National Park. Since that time annual reports have given park
superintendents the opportunity to summarize and report important
events, trends, problems and opportunities in their parks. The
following links provide a sample of some some of these early annual
reports.
