A History of Native Elk in Mount Rainier National Park APPENDIXES Because all known references to elk or evidence of elk in Mount Rainier National Park were quoted in full in the text, it seemed unnecessary to repeat them as an appendix. The four appendixes that appear here are essentially by-products of the research done on the main subject. They may be of use to future students, or may supplement already existing files of information. Among the interesting sidelights provided by Appendix III is the lack of mention of grizzly bears, which apparently were known to existbut which were also apparently quite rarein the Cascades in the nineteenth century. Appendix I: Elk-related Comments in the Superintendent's Reports, 1924-1938 Appendix II: Elk-related Comments in the Monthly Reports of the Park Naturalist, 1947-1963 Appendix III: Observations on Other Large Mammals in Mount Rainier, 1852-1896 Appendix IV: Bighorn Sheep in Mount Rainier: A Summary of Historical Records
