Collection Historical Note
Yellowstone National Park is a national park located primarily in the U.S. state of
Wyoming, although it also extends into
Montana and
Idaho. It was established by the
U.S. Congress and signed into law by President
Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone, widely held to be the first national park in the world, is known for its wildlife and its many
geothermal features, especially
Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park. It has many types of
ecosystems, but the
subalpine forest is dominant. (Courtesy of Wikipedia.org)
