56 OUR NATIONAL MONUMENTS Recently a tunnel penetrating part of the monument was completed by the Bureau of Reclamation of the Interior Department. It is 10 feet 3 inches in diameter after being lined with concrete, and is 6,600 feet long. It carries the Fort Laramie Canal of the North Platte project, which waters approximately 107,000 acres of irrigable farm land. The national monument is reached from the town of Gering on a branch of the Union Pacific System and from the city of Scotts- bluff on the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railroad. Gering is located on the south side of the North Platte and is nearest the monument. Scottsbluff is situated on the north side of the river, which is bridged at this point. Good automobile roads extend through the North Platte Valley connecting the Lincoln Highway on the east and the National Park-to-Park Highway in Wyoming on the west. Motorists may still follow the route of the old Oregon Trail through Mitchell Pass, where a stone marker has been placed by the Nebraska State Historical Society. Much of the historical data regarding the Scotts Bluff Monument has been gathered and made available by Mr. Grant Shumway, deputy secretary of the department of agriculture of the State of Nebraska. A. N. Mathers, custodian of the monument, resides in Gering. SHOSHONE CAVERN NATIONAL MONUMENT The entrance to Shoshone Cavern, high up near the summit of Cedar Mountain, overlooking the Shoshone River and the Cody entrance road to Yellowstone National Park, is very picturesque. It is the sort of cave opening that one reads about in story books, being located among rugged cliffs, with pine trees scattered here and there among the rocks. The entrance is about 20 feet wide and 6 feet high, and is in a fractured zone in a massive bed of limestone. The main cavern follows a fairly straight course, as though located in a large fault in the rock and extends into the mountain about 2,500 feet. There are a few side passages, but all are believed to be short, although as yet these have not been fully explored. Entering the cavern one soon comes to two descending ladders, then after following the descending floor of the cave, two more ladders are reached and finally a fifth ladder. At the foot of this ladder the passage turns toward the slope of the mountain, but still continues to descend. The air is very clear and the ventilation is good throughout. The walls of the cavern are well covered by incrustations of crystals and dripping formations, mostly white, but some brownish or reddish in color. Some of the crystals are sharp and pointed, others resemble rock candy, and some of the formations are curious. The
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.
