"I Married a Ranger" by Dama Margaret Smith is a memoir written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the author's experiences as the first female government employee at the Grand Canyon, sharing her journey through the challenges and adventures of pioneer life in a national park. The narrative is infused with humor, warmth, and tales of camaraderie among rangers and other unique characters she encounters, highlighting her relationship with her husband, White Mountain, the Chief Ranger. The opening of the memoir sets the stage for the author's arrival at the Grand Canyon, where she is both eager and apprehensive about her new role as a field clerk. As she narrates her first impressions of the breathtaking landscapes and the rugged lifestyle, she reflects on the initial skepticism from the Park Superintendent regarding her ability to thrive in such an environment. The author introduces the Chief Ranger, her developing friendship with him, and her acclimatization to the quirks of her new home, including the camaraderie among the rangers and the humorous challenges she faces while adapting to park life. Smith's combination of observational humor and personal anecdotes establishes a vivid and relatable portrayal of her experiences in the early days of national park service.
