Why a history of Coronado National Memorial? In some ways, history is the recording of events in a formal and factual way in order to gain an understanding of the past and present and, perhaps, to ascertain trends leading to the future. In that same manner, the present history of Coronado National Memorial reveals underlying trends, practices, and themes that have, since 1941, gained, at least, in venerability, and others, more ancillary, that have long since disappeared.
