With the ecological integrity of Yellowstone National Park in
contention between developers and environmentalists, the events of
its exploration and founding take on added interest. This Bison
Books edition of Nathaniel P. Langford's journal brings back into
print one of the principal sources of information on the
exploration of the Yellowstone region and its establishment as
America's first national park.
The findings of the 1870 Washburn expedition, of which Langford
was a member, gave credence to the findings of the Folsom party of
1869 and resulted in the sending of a government survey party into
the area in 1871. The culminating effect of the three expeditions
was the federal legislation creating our first and largest national
park and marking the beginning of the national concern for the
preservation of America's heritage of wilderness beauty.
