Wonders of the Yellowstone (Paperback)

The first earnest attempt to explore the valley of the upper
Yellowstone was made in 1859, by Colonel Raynolds, of the Corps of
Engineers. His expedition passed entirely around the Yellowstone
basin, but could not penetrate it. Ten years after Colonel
Raynoldss unsuccessful attempt to solve the problem of the
Yellowstone, a small party under Messrs. Cook and Folsom ascended
the river to the lake, and crossed over the divide into the Geyser
Basin of the Madison. The general public were indebted for their
first knowledge of the marvels of this region to an expedition
organized in the summer of 1870 by some of the officials and
leading citizens of Montana. In the meantime, a large and
thoroughly-organized scientific party, under Dr. F. V. Hayden, U.
S. geologist, were making a systematic survey of the region
traversed by Colonel Barlow. It is safe to say that no exploring
expedition ever had a more interesting field of investigation, or
ever studied so many grand, curious and wonderful aspects of nature
in so short a time.
