Lamar River
The Lamar River is a tributary of the Yellowstone River, approximately 40 miles (48 km) long, in northwestern Wyoming in the United States. The river is located entirely within Yellowstone National Park.
==History==
Prior to the 1884-85 Geological Survey of the park, the Lamar was known as the East Fork of the Yellowstone River. During that survey, Geologist Arnold Hague named the river for L.Q.C. (Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus) Lamar, then Secretary of the Interior (March 1885 - January 1888). The Lamar Valley, or the ''Secluded Valley'' of Trapper Osborne Russell and other park features or administrative names which contain ''Lamar'' are derived from this original naming.
Osborne Russell in his 1921 ''Journal of a Trapper'' described the Lamar as follows:
In 1869, the Cook–Folsom–Peterson Expedition encountered the Lamar River (East Fork) just upstream from the canyon section flowing into the Yellowstone and traveled upstream to the confluence of Calfee Creek where they camped on September 16, 1869.
