Biographical Note
Aubrey L. Haines was born in Portland, Oregon. After graduating from the University of
Washington with a degree in forestry, he was employed as a park ranger in Yellowstone
National Park. Following four years of service with the United States Army Corps of
Engineers during World War II, he returned to Yellowstone and, in 1946, was appointed
assistant park engineer. In 1959, he was promoted to the newly-created position of Park
Historian, remaining in that post until he retired in 1969. Mr. Haines has written many
articles and books, including
Yellowstone National Park: Its
Exploration and Establishment for the YNP centennial. Two edited works, The Valley of the Upper Yellowstone and Osborne Russell's Journal of a Trapper, made key Rocky Mountain histories
available with new introductions and notes. The Yellowstone
Story represents the fullest history of the Park published to date. Mountain Fever is devoted to the early history of Mount Rainier
National Park. Since his retirement, Mr. Haines has served as a consultant on historical
research for the National Park Service and the Bureau of Outdoor Recreation.
The Aubrey L. Haines papers are primarily literary manuscripts, drafts, proof sheets,
research notes, and related correspondence pertaining to five of his major publications:
Yellowstone National Park: Its Exploration and
Establishment (1974); The Valley of the Upper
Yellowstone (1965); Osborne Russell's Journal of a
Trapper (1955); The Yellowstone Story (1977);
Mountain Fever (1962). Included are photographs used in the
preparation of Mountain Fever. The collection has been
arranged in five series, each pertaining to one of the five aforementioned works.
