Yellowstone became America’s first national park in 1872. Replogle served as a seasonal park ranger and a ranger-naturalist at Yellowstone National Park for more than fifty years. This painting illustrates the cover of Replogle’s book, Yellowstone’s Bannock Indian Trails, published in 1956. Replogle’s research contributes to scholarship acknowledging that despite the “wild” and "untouched” character Americans ascribe to Yellowstone, evidence indicates that humans have occupied this region continuously during the past 9,000 years. When Replogle was not working as a park ranger he served as a longtime assistant football coach for the University of Kansas.
