Extraordinary life and career of pioneering photographer Frank Jay Haynes, who with his camera and portable darkroom chronicled the natural landscapes, towns, mines, farms, ranches, Indian camps, river boats, forts, and railways of the frontier West, and was appointed first official photographer for the newly created Yellowstone National Park, as well as its first concessionaire. Magnificently illustrated with 422 Haynes photos, including over 25 striking individual Indian portraits, many of them full-page.
