Two readers recognized last edition’s mystery photo. Heather Sawyer of Johns Creek writes: “Today’s mystery photo is Jenny Lake in Grand Teton National Park. I took a boat ride there last fall with my parents and husband. We were visiting my nephew who lives in Jackson Hole.” The photo was sent in by Beverly Lougher of Lawrenceville.
George Graf of Palmyra, Va. also recognized the scene. He adds:”Jenny Lake is named after a Shoshone Indian woman who married an Englishman, Richard “Beaver Dick” Leigh. Jenny, and their six children, died of smallpox in 1876. The lake was formed approximately 12,000 years ago by glaciers pushing rock debris. In 1929 Grand Teton National Park was established, protecting the major peaks of the Teton Range. The valley of Jackson Hole remained in private ownership until the 1930s, when conservationists led by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. began purchasing land in Jackson Hole to be added to the existing national park.”
