Grand Teton NP: A Place Called Jackson Hole (Chapter 19)
The truest and most realistic frontier people are still goingstrong—real estate speculators. Historian Patricia Limerickobserved, "if Hollywood wanted to capture the emotional center ofWestern history, its movies would be about real estate," and its heroes,surveyors, realtors, and lawyers. From the treaty that divided theNorthwest Territory between Great Britain and the United States tosurveyors plotting lots in the town of Jackson, the history of theAmerican West has always been, at its most basic level, about property.[ 8 ] Prior to 1900, a wealthy dude named Moserhoped "to buy the whole valley because he felt this valley would one daybe worth a lot of money and he could make a cleaning on it." And couldthe signers of the 1925 petition supporting a "museum on the hoof" inJackson Hole been motivated in part by real estate speculation when theyqualified their offer to sell their land "at what we consider a fairprice?" Harrison and Hildegard Crandall considered subdividing theirpro ... [Read More]

Grand Teton NP: A Place Called Jackson Hole (Chapter 6)
Much has been made of the six covered wagons as the first wagon traininto Jackson Hole. [ 13 ] In reality, thesignificance of the wagon train is symbolic and important to localhistory; the great trains that snaked their way over the Oregon Trailbelonged to another period. The arrival of the Wilson-Cheney clan wassignificant for other reasons. They were the first to bring wagons overTeton Pass since R. E. Miller manhandled a wagon over it in 1885. As aresult, the Wilson-Cheney caravan confirmed Teton Pass as a viable, ifdifficult, route. The Teton Pass Road became the valley's maincommunication and transportation artery. Second, their migration began atrend. Between 1890 and 1900, the highest percentage of Jackson Holesettlers came from Utah and Idaho, the majority of them embracing theMormon faith. Third, and perhaps most important, the arrival of theWilsons and Cheneys had a civilizing influence, in that five familiescomprising women and children broke into a bachelor community. Prior ...

Ranching also had a significant impact on the ecology of JacksonHole. Cattle ranching represented an adaptation to the land west of the100th meridian, as ranchers introduced techniques such as irrigation anddry farming, as well as domestic livestock and plants. Grazing affectedthe native vegetation, while overgrazing depleted range land.Settlers displaced or eradicated wildlife. Wolves were exterminatedsystematically to extinction. Settlers plowed and fenced lands thatserved as migratory routes and winter range for elk and pronghorn.Today, the Jackson Hole elk herd survives on one-quarter of its historicwinter range, and must be fed during the severest winter days at therefuge. Up to 1906, settlers reported an annual migration of pronghorn,more commonly known as antelope, into the valley. W. C. Deloney recalledthat hundreds of antelope migrated into Jackson Hole from the GreenRiver Valley via the Hoback. At Granite Creek, the herd split. One groupcrossed the divide into the Cache Creek ...

FRB: Speech, Greenspan -- Opening remarks at Jackson Hole -- August 31, 2001
Of course, in addition to realized capital gains from the turnover of existing homes, there is a considerable amount of cash that is extracted from home equity without a home sale, principally from refinancing cash-outs and from home equity loans. Both types of equity extraction have risen considerably in recent years, in line with the marked rise in unrealized capital gains on homes. Some preliminary calculations suggest that the total of equity extractions from unrealized capital gains on homes that is spent on consumer goods and services per dollar of capital gains is a fraction of the spending engendered by the gains realized through the sale of a home. ...
