Historical Figure
Thomas Moran
Thomas Moran was a British-born American artist whose paintings of Yellowstone were instrumental in the creation of the first national park in 1872. He accompanied the Hayden Geological Survey to Yellowstone in 1871, painting the same geothermal wonders that Lewis and Clark expedition member John Colter had first reported in 1807.
