EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving captures a historic moment in the early exploration of Yellowstone National Park, established in March 1872 by President Ulysses S. Grant for the benefit and enjoyment of the people. The image, dated 1888, depicts a wagon fording the Gibbon River in Gibbon Canyon. The national park, located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, was the world's first national park, and its unique geothermal features and diverse wildlife quickly drew visitors from across the country. President Grant's decree to protect Yellowstone and its natural wonders was a groundbreaking decision, as the land had previously been considered uninhabitable and of no value. This engraving, produced by the Illustrated London News, showcases the importance of transportation in accessing the park's remote locations. The wagon, with its determined passengers and horses, braves the swift currents of the Gibbon River, demonstrating the determination and adventurous spirit of early park visitors. The year 1888 marked a significant period in the history of Yellowstone National Park, as it was during this time that tourism began to flourish. Visitors from around the world came to witness the park's geysers, hot springs, and wildlife. This engraving provides a glimpse into the past, offering a visual representation of the early explorers' experiences and the challenges they faced in traversing the park's rugged terrain. The Gibbon River, with its crystal-clear waters, adds to the breathtaking beauty of Gibbon Canyon, showcasing the diverse landscapes that make Yellowstone National Park a must-visit destination for nature enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
