The President of the United States, leading officials and military men relax around a picnic blanket, Arthur and another man are in camp chairs, the others are seated or lounging on the ground.

[Philip H.] Sheridan; President Arthur; Surrogate Collins of New York; Robert Todd Lincoln, Secretary of War and son of Abraham Lincoln; and Montana Governor Crosby. There are various pieces of camp paraphernalia visible, and in the background men are wrestling with horses. F. Jay Haynes was not yet the official photographer of Yellowtone National Park (he was to be so designated the following year) when he made this trip as the official photographer of Chester A. Arthur's excursion party through the park in 1883. The photograph itself is a captivating view of the great men relaxing. Chester Alan Arthur, who rose from vice president to president upon the assissination of James Garfield and was not renominated, remains one of our most elusive presidents, with a paucity of biographical materials available (as noted in the D.A.B.) Thse rare photographs of his party amid the wonders of the Yellowstone are important not only for being early views of our greatest national park by its leading photographer, but also as a record of the president himself.
