Fort Yellowstone was the U.S. Army's base for guarding the national park from 1886 until the National Park Service took over in 1916, and its officers' quarters stood among the stone and frame buildings near the Mammoth Hot Springs terraces. Here, a deer wanders in front of those quarters, a small reminder of how close the park's wildlife lived to the soldiers and their families. The Army's presence brought order to a park plagued by poaching and vandalism, and the easy familiarity between animals and people seen in pictures like this one became part of the park's early reputation. Note the deer's calm, unhurried stance, which speaks to how tame the Mammoth area's animals had become.
