The title's older spelling, "Canon," reflects the period, when the canyon of the Yellowstone River was still being named and mapped by outside expeditions. The views in this series date from the Hayden Geological Survey's 1871 trip through the region, which included photographer William Henry Jackson and painter Thomas Moran. Their images and sketches helped persuade Congress to set the area aside, and Yellowstone became the first national park in 1872. Look closely at the walls of the canyon and the falls, since their color and scale were the features that drew the most attention back East.
