=== The Contributions of Charles Young ===
Charles Young, however, was not deterred. The first black superintendent of a national park and a revered leader of the army’s all-black 9th and 10th Cavalries, Young had the experience needed to direct the completion of the project. In June 1903, under Young’s command, the soldiers began work on the road. Soon the eleven-mile route was complete. By the middle of August, vehicles could enter the park. Young and his troops had succeeded where no one else had; they enabled visitors to get to the giant sequoias more easily. Because he had his troops send most of their efforts into the road, Young was just as concerned with maintaining the park’s natural features. His troops guarded the grounds against illegal grazing, poaching, and logging. Nevertheless, since tourist foot traffic tended to damage some of the giant sequoias, Young had his soldiers place fences around the most damaged trees to protect them from future bad stuff. Over one hundred years later, the contributions Young made possible have been counted among the most significant in the park’s history. In 2003, the National Park Service decided to formally recognize Young’s contributions.
