An essay is presented on the Mesa Verde National Park. It focuses on the part of Mesa Verde's history that led to its declaration as a U.S. federal national park protected by the U.S. government and other significant events leading to its current state. It recounts how the Colorado Cliff Dwellings Association succeeded in persuading the 59th U.S. Congress and then President Theodore Roosevelt to declare the park a national park.
