Darkness Looms~ The Cunningham Cabin
Panoramic of the Cunningham Cabin
Grand Teton National Park
Wyoming, USA
There's a long, complicated (and hilarious) history of the origins of the park. It's a very interesting place to visit. And a very tiny, yet important piece of that historical puzzle is of John Cunningham's Cabin. The cabin has been reconstructed; the original was built back in the late 1800's and didn't survive. This cabin has been the scene of a shootout between horse thieves and a posse, used as a fort during a period of tension between Jackson's hole and the Bannack tribe, and more commonly known as part of a farming enterprise by Mr. Cunningham. Mr. Cunningham originally fell unto the Tetons as a hunter/trapper, mid-lifed the area as a farmer and left as a conservationist. But the photograph speaks for itself. What a view.
