Fire-Hole Basin, Yellowstone Park, 1888: A Historical Snapshot of Early Tourism in America's First National Park This engraving, titled "Fire-Hole Basin, Yellowstone Park, USA," offers a captivating glimpse into the early days of tourism in Yellowstone National Park. Established in March 1872 by President Ulysses S. Grant for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, Yellowstone was the world's first national park, setting a precedent for preserving natural wonders for future generations. The image showcases the log cabins of Henderson and Klamers Hotel, two prominent establishments in Fire-Hole Basin. The basin, located in the heart of the park, was a popular destination for visitors seeking to experience the geothermal features and natural beauty of the area. The log cabins, nestled among the trees, provide a cozy and rustic contrast to the rugged landscape. The engraving, created in 1888, is an important historical artifact that transports us back in time to an era when tourism in national parks was still in its infancy. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the early days of Yellowstone National Park, a time when visitors traveled great distances to experience the wonders of nature and enjoy the simple pleasures of a log cabin retreat. President Grant's vision of preserving Yellowstone for the enjoyment of the people was a groundbreaking one, and this engraving serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of America's national parks. The log cabins of Henderson and Klamers Hotel, though long gone, continue to tell the story of a time when the natural beauty of Yellowstone drew visitors from far and wide, and the simple pleasures of a log cabin retreat were a cherished part of the experience.
