1874 Wonders of Yellowstone American West Illustrated MAP National Parks Geology



James Richardson’s ‘Wonders of the Yellowstone’ is a finely illustrated work on the first American National Park. This work is a part of ‘The Illustrated Library of Travel, Exploration, and Adventure’ edited by Bayard Taylor. Taylor was a 19th-century travel writer whose abundant notes and reports have been referenced for decades since the mid-1800s. ‘Wonders of the Yellowstone’ takes its information primarily from a manuscript report of exploration by Brevet, the official report of the first Yellowstone expedition. Richardson’s work includes information on:

Yellowstone Lake

Ancient Volcanic Action

Lewis and Clarke’s Expeditions

Hayden’s Geological Survey

Yellowstone Valley

Hot Springs and Thermal Springs

Sulphur Springs

Waterfowl and Trout

Old Faithful

Petrifaction

Natural History of Geysers and Thermal Springs

Mr. Evert’s Thirty-seven days of peril

The Yellowstone Reservation

Langford made superintendent of the Park

And much more!



This 1874 edition includes a large foldout map of Yellowstone National Park and Its Prospective Railroad Connection with the Eastern States and 19 black and white illustrations throughout!
