There is also correspondence with the Canadian Pacific Railway, Dr. George Brett and Dr. A.R.C. Selwyn of the Geological Survey of Canada, and many others who were involved in the early history of the Park.

Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Banff National Park (Canada). Office of the Superintendent : Until the establishment of the National Parks Branch within the Department of the Interior in 1911, there was no central unit responsible for the exclusive administration of national parks. Consequently, the activities of the Rocky Mountains Park's first two Superintendents, George Stewart (1887-1897) and Howard Douglas (1897-1910), were of great significance in the development of park policies, operations and administrative procedures.
