Description
""The Discovery of Yellowstone Park"" by Nathaniel P. Langford is a historical account of the first expedition to explore and document the natural wonders of Yellowstone National Park. Langford, a member of the 1870 Washburn Expedition, details the group's journey through the park, including their encounters with geysers, hot springs, and wildlife. The book also provides insight into the challenges faced by the expedition, such as navigating difficult terrain and dealing with hostile Native American tribes. Langford's vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes bring the beauty and majesty of Yellowstone to life, making this book a must-read for anyone interested in the history of America's national parks.Along the trail, after leaving Fort Ellis, we found large quantities of the ""service"" berry, called by the Snake Indians ""Tee-amp."" Our ascent of the Belt range was somewhat irregular, leading us up several sharp acclivities, until we attained at the summit an elevation of nearly two thousand feet above the valley we had left. The scene from this point is excelled in grandeur only by extent and variety. An amphitheatre of mountains 200 miles in circumference, enclosing a valley nearly as large as the State of Rhode Island, with all its details of pinnacle, peak, dome, rock and river, is comprehended at a glance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
