Curator Conversations: Artists Affecting Public Policy: Yellowstone

The 1871 U.S. Geological Survey to “Colter’s Hell” in Wyoming included painter Thomas Moran and photographer William Henry Jackson. The images that Moran captured with paintbrush and Jackson with his camera were shown to the U.S. Congress and resulted directly in the creation of Yellowstone National Park. This “conversation” discusses this series of events in 1871 – 1872 on the sesquicentennial of Yellowstone National Park.
