Yellowstone Moran: Painting the American West

In the summer of 1871, a young painter named Thomas Moran joined a team of scientists heading for the untamed land called ���he Yellowstone.���He couldn�'t believe what he found there���teaming cauldrons of sulfur, belching geysers, even a thousand-foot-deep canyon. Tom had never ridden a horse or slept under the stars before, but the paintings he created on his journey from city boy to seasoned explorer would lead to the founding of America�'s first national park.

Trained as a fine artist, Lita Judge captures the wild and rugged beauty of Yellowstone in this stunning book she�'s wanted to write her whole life.
