Chapter 2: 1872

Americans had been inspired by The Hayden Geological Survey, that featured a team of scientists, and included painter Thomas Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson. The ambitious expedition mapped the Yellowstone area, confirmed the tall tales of thermal activity and geysers and thrilled the scientific community. Moran’s paintings and Jackson’s photographs brought the unimaginably wild wonders of Yellowstone to life, and impressed the need to protect and preserve this most unique place.
