MT RUSH, video still, Elizabeth Orr, 2016

They are fine, earnest, intelligent, and public-spirited body of men, these rangers. Though small in number, their influence is large. Many and long are the duties heaped upon their shoulders. If a trail is to be blazed, it is “send a ranger.” If an animal is floundering in the snow, a ranger is sent to pull them out;  if a bear is in the hotel, if a fire threatens a forest, if someone is to be saved, it is “send a ranger.”   If a Dude wants to know the why, if a Sagebrushes is puzzled about a road it is “ask the ranger.” Everything the ranger knows, she will tell you, except about herself. “Oh, Ranger!” now tells you about herself.

“Oh, Ranger!” by Horace Albright and Frank Taylor
