As the plaque reads:

One of a kind
Consider the kind of man that successfully established a homestead here, adjacent to the Frenchman's muddy waters and 45 miles (72 km) from the nearest services. That man was Walt Larson! From humble beginnings, he managed grass and water to sustain a cattle operation modeled by those that followed. Ranching stewardship would enable the establishment of Grasslands Natioinal Park

Unique en son genre

Imaginez le genre d'homme capable de fonder un homestead ici, tout prés des eaux boueuses de la rivière Frenchman, à 72 km de tout service. Cet homme, c'était Walt Larson! Issue d'une famille modeste, il a réussi à gérer la végétation e l'eau pour soutenir une exploitation d'élevage qui a servi de modèle à ses successeurs. C'est grâce à ;'intendance des ranchs que , plus tard, il à été possible de créer le parc national des Prairies.
