Isabelle Story, editor and first National Park Service Information Officer, pictured in her office in the old Department of the interior Building, Washington, D.C., February 1, 1933. Ms. Story came to the National Park Service in 1916. In 1917, Horace M. Albright called on her to be his secretary. She collaborated with Albright on the NPS Annual Reports for 1917, 1918, and 1919. When Albright went to Yellowstone National Park as superintendent in 1919, Ms. Story joined him to complete the 1919 Annual Report as well as the Budget Report for Congress. Ms. Story wrote press releases and articles promoting the national parks and monuments. She was “editor-in-chief” during the National Park Service’s phases of professional development and for a while its only writer. She is credited as one of the first advocates of a national parks magazine. She retired from the National Park Service in 1954. National Park Service photograph by George A.
