| dc.description.abstract | To understand the issues at play in the way cultural resources are managed in National Parks, this thesis examines the topic in general, and the management of one resource in detail, the Bar BC Ranch at Grand Teton National Park. The ranch's management history is examined in order to explore both the obstacles that have stood in the way of its preservation, and the recent changes in management that have resulted in: the stabilization of the ranch. The main factors affecting the management of the Bar BC have been the influence of park superintendents, the persistence of a perception of the park as a natural area, the limited interpretation of the vision of the park's patron, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the failure to recognize the significance of the Bar BC, and the lack of planning and maintenance during the period the ranch was under a lifetime lease. | |
