EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Spectacular Sight: Mammoth Hot Springs, Yellowstone National Park, 1874" In March 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a bill into law, declaring Yellowstone National Park as the world's first national park. Established for the benefit and enjoyment of the people, Yellowstone became a sanctuary for its natural wonders, untouched by commercial exploitation. This engraving from 1874 captures the breathtaking landscape of Mammoth Hot Springs, located within the park's borders. The image showcases the spectacular volcanic terrain, with its intricately formed terraces and mineral-rich waters cascading down the slopes. The Gardiner River, meandering through the scene, adds a touch of serenity to the otherwise dramatic setting. In the foreground, tiny tourists can be seen, emphasizing the vastness and grandeur of the landscape. The importance of this national treasure was recognized early on, and visitors flocked to witness its natural beauty. This engraving, produced in 1874, serves as a testament to the enduring allure of Yellowstone and the significance of preserving its natural wonders for future generations to enjoy. President Grant's decision to protect Yellowstone marked a turning point in the history of conservation, paving the way for the establishment of more national parks and the preservation of America's natural heritage. This image invites us to reflect on the beauty and importance of our national parks and the role they play in our collective memory and identity.
