4 OUR NATIONAL MONUMENTS During 1923 explorations were confined to the excavation of one chamber—Room No. 189 on the ground plan of the pueblo. In it were found two levels of occupation. As revealed by the potsherds, the basal fill of refuse 3 or 4 feet in thickness was of the age of the ruins in Chaco Canyon National Monument. Overlying this deposit was a thin adobe floor, and built upon this in the northwest corner a masonry bin roofed with mud supported by cross sticks and a reed mat. As a part of the process of rehabilitation the doors in the north and south wralls had been blocked with stone, leaving a hatchway in the ceiling as the only means of access. Enough wall debris and drift sand had worked down through the hatchway to cover the secondary floor to a depth of from 3 to 6 feet. Lying immediately upon the floor were the ladder which originally stood against the western side of the hatch, a hafted ax. Mesa Verde pot sherds, and a number of other objects, including the dried body of a canine, apparently a dog which must have been confined in the room to judge by the claw marks upon the walls. The Aztec Ruin is one of a large group of ruins, but is the most striking and the best preserved. All the others are on private property and ultimately subject to destruction. The national monument assures to the future a type of the ruins formerly existing here and an index to the unknown cultures of the San Juan Valley. It covers an area of 4.6 acres. The town of Aztec is on a branch of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad's narrow-gauge lines extending from Durango, Colo., to Farmington, N. Mex., and also on New Mexico's section of the National Park-to-Park Highway. The monument is within a mile of Aztec and easily reached. Earl Morris, a member of
Object’s are ‘parent’ level descriptions to ‘children’ items, (e.g. a book with pages).

This 80-page booklet, “Glimpses of our National Monuments” was published in 1926 by the National Park Service. The booklet begins by outlining the distinction between America’s national parks and its national monuments. Subsequent pages show and describe the monuments. Page 72 lists all the national parks to date, all in the western U.S. One argument for the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is that there were no national parks in the eastern U.S. This situation was not changed until 1934 when the Great Smoky Mountains National Park was established.
