Carl and Betty Russell 1925 (NPS) (so much for Prohibition) |
Dr. Russell served in several regional positions in the NPS, including NPS Chief Naturalist, regional director, and Yosemite National Park Superintendent. Dr. Russell retired from the park service in 1957 and died June 19, 1967. Besides several editions of One Hundred Years in Yosemite, he wrote Guns on the Early Frontiers in 1957, and, published posthumously, Firearms, Traps and Tools of the Mountain Men.
