The title borrows a line from "Home on the Range," the cowboy ballad whose words were first written by Kansas settler Brewster Higley in the 1870s and later became one of the best-known songs of the American West. That lyric pictures the open plains as a place where wild animals roam freely, an image that matched a growing public sense that the region's wilderness was worth protecting. The national parks of the West, beginning with Yellowstone in 1872, were promoted in much the same spirit, as places where deer, antelope and other wildlife could still be seen in unsettled country. The phrase thus links a popular frontier song to the early park movement's hopes for the land.
