Description

A historic, photographic tour of The united states’s first national park.
Yellowstone National Park occupies a singular place in our national consciousness. In 1872 Congress dedicated this dramatic landscape of geysers and hot springs “as a public park or pleasuring ground for the convenience and delight in the folks,” thus creating the sector’s first national park. Yellowstone’s history has at all times been as much about this “get advantages and pleasure” as about preservation, to which this handsome book is a testament. An assemblage of historic photographs timed to coincide with the park’s 125th anniversary, these black-and-white images of early tourism beautifully illustrate the original pull the park has at all times exerted over the American imagination.
