OUR NATIONAL MONUMENTS PIPE SPRING NATIONAL MONUMENT 51 Pipe Spring is famous in Utah and Arizona history. In 1858 Jacob Hamblin was sent by President Brigham Young, of the Mormon Church, to visit the Hopi Indians in northern Arizona. His party consisted of 10, including a Piute Indian guide, and, so the story goes, they camped by a marvelous spring in the midst of the desert. Hamblin was a noted rifle shot and the conversation turned on the question of marksmanship. A wager was made that he could not shoot a hole through a handkerchief at 20 yards. Hamblin fired several shots at the square of silk hung by the upper two corners, but the force of the bullet only swept the handkerchief Ruins of old stone fort at l'ipo Spring back without penetrating it. Stung by his failure and his friend's laughing remark that he could not shoot straight, Hamblin declared that if he would stick his pipe up as a target he would shoot the bottom out without breaking the bowl. Up went the pipe and crack the rifle. Hamblin made good his word and from that time on the spring has been called Pipe Spring. The monument, about 40 acres in extent, was created May 31,1923, to preserve the ruined old stone fort, a relic of pioneer days. In the early sixties the Mormons established a cattle ranch here, and the fort was erected as a protection against marauding Indians. It consisted of two houses of two stories each, built facing each other across
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.
