In 1870 American photographer William H. Jackson joined geologist Ferdinand Vandiveer Hayden on an expedition across Wyoming, along the Green River, and eventually into the Grand Canyon and the Yellowstone Lake region. His images were the first published images of Yellowstone. Jackson's landscape photographs of the American West popularized the region, and were pivotal to familiarizing people with the unknown west.
