In 1898, Civil War veteran, John Wesley Wolfe, built a homestead and lived there for over a decade hoping to make his fortune. Wolfe Ranch still stands in what is now Arches National Park. This photograph shows the remains of his cabin, an out building, and a fence. The grayed rough-hewn logs blend into the surrounding landscape.
