To all of those that are interested about how Big Bend National Park became a National Park and the history of when it began you can put in your google search:
big bend national park,administrative history (Chapter 1 Endnotes) and hit search and pull up 18 Chapters of the Big Bend National Park and it shows this was last updated in 2003
I found this very interesting and renewed alot of names & history that I never knew about.  It even mention's my dad's name in (Chapter 13)one of the chapters (W.A. Cooper, Jr when the park purchased his land for the Park.  Also, Bobby Cooper was mentioned on one article, when he was only 10 years old, and he is my uncle.
