Lex Anteinternet: Monday, March 15, 1943 A Wyoming Federal Reservat...hmmm. . .
Lex Anteinternet: Monday, March 15, 1943 A Wyoming Federal Reservat...: Today In Wyoming's History: March 15: 1943 Franklin Roosevelt used executive authority to proclaim 221,000 acres as the Jackson Hole National Monument, the predecessor to today's Grand Teton National Park. Governor Hunt threatened to use the Highway Patrol to prevent Federal authority on its grounds. Congress, for its part, refused to appropriate money for the monument.
His principled stance on McCarthyism aside, it's just this sort of thing that makes it so you can't really be too sorry that the Legislature didn't honor Hunt this session.
