In 1918 the Cavalry at last left Yellowstone, passing on responsibility for its care to the new agency. The first ranger force, although composed of only 21 people, was experienced, capable, and dedicated. In fact, many were cavalrymen who chose to remain in the park. Today the flat-brimmed hats worn by national park rangers are modeled from the Army campaign hats and serve as a salute to the Army's contributions. |
