Yellowstone: Early Photographs of Our National Parks (Paperback)

In 1872 Yellowstone became the world's first national park. This collection celebrates Yellowstone through its earliest photographs. Photography fired peoples' imagination and led to a popular plea to set aside this wilderness. It explores the native Indian cultures of Yellowstone, trappers, explorers and the origins of the "park idea." Yellowstone: Early Photographs of Our National Parks is a collection of stunning images, historic anecdotes and personal accounts. This anthology will be cherished by anyone interested in our national parks.
