Seeing America first : with the Berry brothers . Cleopatra Terrace, Mammoth Hot yprin^r Most boys and girls think of a park as a little plot of ground with a fountain in its center andneat little flower beds arranged primly around. The Yellowstone Park is almost as large as Connec-ticut, and Uncle Sam has given it to America so that no one can ever spoil its beauty by buildingfactories or cities there.
