DescriptionLetter from George M. Bowers to D. C. Booth and copied to General S. B. M. Young regarding a proposed reintroduction of salmon to the park, disapproving on stocking the salmon in Duck Lake rather than in Shoshone Lake, which he argues will be more successful for propagating the salmon and if they colonize Yellowstone Lake then that will be better than the native trout species anyway.
