Jackson was the leading photographer of the American West in the 19th century. His photographs helped turn Yellowstone into the first national park. He was the first white man to see and photograph the Mesa Verde ruins of the Anasazi people in Colorado. After the Hayden Survey years, Jackson settled down to a successful commercial career in Denver. His pictures now revealed the steady conquest of the Frontier by the railroads. By the 1890's he was called "America's greatest landscape photographer."
Jackson's credit, title, and number '1350' in the negative; double-mounted; in near pristine condition, minor fading; unframed.
