The book chronicles Hayden's role as a geologist and explorer and details his expeditions that played a pivotal part in the establishment of Yellowstone National Park. It serves not only as an informative narrative about Hayden's professional journey but also as a testament to the park's natural significance and beauty. The content of the book centers around Hayden's extensive geological expeditions to the Yellowstone region, particularly his historic journey in 1871, where he documented the area's remarkable geological features such as geysers, hot springs, and the stunning canyon formations. His efforts were foundational in raising public awareness about the region's natural wonders, supported by striking photographs taken by William H. Jackson and artistic depictions by Thomas Moran, which garnered political and public support for the creation of the park. Hayden's impactful reports and persistent advocacy ultimately led to the establishment of Yellowstone as the first national park, marking a monumental step in conservation history.
