Was it the forest reserve in Yellowstone?

Well, you have time. haha You are close, but not correct. It is not Yellowstone Park.

I'll give this one more day and then either reveal it or have to come up with another hint and I'm not sure I can think of a hint that won't completely give it away.

Well it said Wyoming became a state under Harrison, but that was in 1890, not 91...at least what site I found.

Odd, my edits didn't show up.

Shoshoni National Forest?

Assuming I am correct, Which author sold his Jackson Hole property for the grand sum of $2750, after it had stood vacant for years following his wife's death. ? (hint, it wasn't in recent years )

Didn't realize we was in a hurry.

You are correct. President Benjamin Harrison created the very first "National Forest". Shoshone National Forest.

Kind of on the same thing, President Benjamin Harrison's Great Great Great Grandson, William Henry Harrison, passed away, 3 May, here in Sheridan. Just a couple weeks ago.


Ah, yeah, you're up Froggie.

No, not in a hurry, but not always a guarantee I'll get a chance to log on and post, plus I didn't want to forget my question (which I've been known to do). ') I didn't know Wyoming became a state under Harrison...wasn't he fairly well known for things done in Nevada as well?

It wouldn't be Owen Wister, the Attorney that married his cousin, is it?
