For your consideration is this Second Edition of "The Discovery of Yellowstone Park 1870" by Nathaniel P. Langford, J. E. Haynes, Publisher Saint Paul, MN., 1923. Nathaniel P. Langford was the first superintendent of the Park, but had no salary, funding, or legal means to enforce protection for Yellowstone's wildlife and geologic features. Thus, he had to earn his living elsewhere, and he entered the Park only twice during his five years as superintendent. During their explorations, members of the party made detailed maps and observations of the Yellowstone region, exploring numerous lakes, climbing several mountains, and observing wildlife. The expedition visited both the Upper & Lower Geyser Basins, naming Old Faithful because of its regular eruptions. Mt. Langford, in the Absaroka Range of Yellowstone, was named after him. 188 pages, 48 illustrations including maps of Yellowstone Lake, there is a portrait of the author, and photographic portraits of expedition members. This tan coloured softcover book has slight tears to cover, intact pages exhibit age tanning. Measures 6.75"L x 5"W x .75"D.*
