Description:

"Wives Wanted" sign posted on log cabin. Taken in Apgar, Montana in 1901 at the foot of Lake McDonald. From left to right: Bill Daucks, Frank Geduhn (Forest Service ranger before Glacier National Park was established), Esli Apgar (in doorway of cabin), and Dimon (Harvey) Apgar. Frank Geduhn holds a cat and a dog stands between Esli and Dimon Apgar.

The Apgars were the sons of Milo Apgar, who began offering cabins and other services when they realized the potential for tourism in the area. Frank Geduhn (aka "The Cat Guy") was in charge of supplies. Today, Apgar Campground is the largest campground in Glacier National Park. In the end, Frank and Dimon were the only ones who got married.
