Harriman foresaw the tremendous potential in developing a skiing destination industry for the Union Pacific during the Great Depression and after hiring Count Felix Schaffgosch to scout locations determined in January 1936 that Ketchum ID would be the ideal spot. The Union Pacific contracted the famed Los Angeles CA architect Gilbert Underwood 1890-1960 who at the time was a key member in the Federal Architecture Project established by Roosevelt during the New Deal. Underwood was well known for designing Union Pacific lodges for the National Park Service including complexes at Cedar Breaks Zion Bryce Canyon North Rim of the Grand Canyon and the famed Ahwahnee Hotel at Yosemite.

1961réf. 224201961. U.S. Naval Missile Center Authors and Editors Handbook 1961 establishes standardized authorship formatting and editorial control for technical reports produced at the Pacific Missile Range documenting the internal communication systems that supported U.S. guided missile and early satellite programs during the Cold War. Issued for personnel at Point Mugu California the manual defines procedures for drafting reviewing and disseminating classified and technical material tied to weapons development providing direct evidence of how military knowledge was structured codified and circulated within federal defense infrastructure. The inclusion of a contemporaneous typescript insert History of the Pacific Missile Range February 1961 further situates the handbook within active missile testing and space recovery operations supporting research into Cold War science military bureaucracy and the integration of documentation practices into weapons development. Pacific Missile Range and U.S. Naval Missile Center. Authors and Editors Handbook. Point Mugu CA: U.S. Naval Missile Center 1 August 1961. First edition. Publication No. NMC-MP-61-9. Quarto format 218 pages with an additional 5-page typescript insert titled History of the Pacific Missile Range February 1961 issued by the Public Affairs Office. Three-hole-punched sheets bound with cloth tape and printed card wrappers. The handbook is organized into four sections: Report Preparation Manuscript Preparation Language Grammar and Punctuation and Matters of Style outlining requirements for technical clarity typographic consistency and standardized formatting across naval missile documentation. The inserted historical report traces the establishment of the Pacific Missile Range in 1957 under William Holaday and details its expansion into "an ocean-spanning instrumented network capable of supplying information on the launching guidance and impact of the nation's largest missiles and satellites." Documented events include "On 16 Dec 1958 the first REGULUS II missile was fired" and the recovery of "DISCOVERER XIII. making it the first man-made object ever recovered from orbit" providing a contemporaneous record of early U.S. missile and satellite operations. Produced during a period of rapid expansion in U.S. missile testing and space reconnaissance the manual demonstrates how technical writing standards were integrated into military systems to ensure uniformity precision and reliability in the production of strategic knowledge. References to parallel guides such as Guide for Air Force Writing and Preparation of Weapon-Test Reports indicate alignment across branches of the armed services in codifying technical communication. The Pacific Missile Range functioned as a central node in Cold War weapons testing linking launch sites tracking stations and recovery operations across the Pacific and the documentation practices outlined here formed part of the operational infrastructure supporting those activities.
