FOOTNOTES
[1]The forests are composed principally of conifers. Of these the
lodgepole pine predominates. It has a shallow root system, and as a
result the area is conspicuous by the amount of fallen timber.
[2]A frontiersman’s characterization of the climate in the Park. The
statement is usually attributed to James Stuart.
[3]John E. Rees, _Idaho Chronology, Nomenclature, Bibliography_
(Portland, Oregon: Ivey Press, 1917), p. 61.
[4]Teton and Snowy ranges, although partly integrated with Yellowstone,
actually lie beyond the south and north borders respectively.
[5]The plateaus are Buffalo, Mirror, Two Ocean, Pitchstone, Madison, and
Central. The ranges are Gallatin, Washburn, and Absaroka. The ridges
include the Big Game, Chicken, Speciman, and Crowfoot. The Red
Mountains form a unit by themselves in the south-central area.
[6]These are Electric, Pollux, Atkins, and Eagle peaks, and Schurz and
Humphreys mountains.
[7]Warm River originates west of the Park, but Firehole is the best
example of a really warm river. It does not freeze over in
temperatures 50° below zero. There are literally thousands of hot
springs in Yellowstone. Dr. A. C. Peale estimated three thousand,
while Dr. Arnold Hague said the number probably exceeded twenty-five
hundred.
[8]Reference to this stream is made again in relation to the “Overland
Astorians” in Chapter II. See also, Dee Linford’s “Wyoming Stream
Names,” _Annals of Wyoming_, XV, 2 (April, 1943), 165-70.
[9]These sources are the Firehole and Gibbon, respectively.
[10]This is the lowest temperature ever recorded on an official United
States Weather Bureau thermometer in Continental United States.
