Longer show description: Yellowstone “The Discovery” It took Centuries for Euro-Americans to find it. It took almost 70 years to explore it and establish it as a national park. But learning how to co-exist with it is an on going process. As we approach the 200th anniversary of the Euro-American’s discovery of Yellowstone, many issues remain unresolved. Learn how it all started in the documentary “History of Yellowstone” the discovery. Shot in beautiful HD 1080I all the aspects of the Yellowstone views are seen in crisp detail. “It’s the closest thing to being there in person”.
We’ll explore with those early explorers and see the sites much the same as they did. We’ll hear some of their thoughts about this nature wonderland, a place where “waterfalls spout backwards” according to mountain man Jim Bridger.
As the federal government through the Park Service decides the future of Yellowstone Park we can learn what those unselfish men of the 1800”s envisioned for this showcase of nature’s wonders. We see its unique landscape and learn of the far reaching vision of early explorers, and learn why they were determined to set Yellowstone apart as this country’s first National Park.
“History of Yellowstone—The Discovery” covers the years 1807-1886. Upcoming specials will cover other aspects of Yellowstone history through today. Four years of research, study, and photography have gone into the project. Interviews with the Park’s leading historians have been recorded. The photographer, Jack R. Hubbell visited the park year round capturing some of the parks uniqueness within the changing seasons.
It is a must see for everyone, for the frequent visitor it will bring to mind all the features that you love about Yellowstone and the history behind it, for the never been there crowd it will open up a new world of awe and wonderment.
