Bill Menor and his neighbors homesteaded here in what is now
Grand Teton National Park,
Wyoming. Thinking of the local natural resources as commodities for survival, many of them grew to treasure the beauty and uniqueness of Jackson Hole. In 35 short years, from Bill Menor’s arrival until the establishment of the original park in 1929, this land passed from homestead to national treasure. Photo by
