Answer 2

According to the Yellowstone National Park web page: "Fur trappers' fantastic tales of cauldrons of bubbling mud and roaring geysers sending steaming plumes skyward made their way back east. Several expeditions were sent to investigate, opening the West to further exploration and exploitation. In 1871, Ferdinand Hayden led an expedition that included artist Thomas Moran and photographer William H. Jackson. They brought back images that helped convince Congress that the area known as Yellowstone needed to be protected and preserved. In 1872, President Ulysses S. Grant signed a law declaring that Yellowstone would forever be "dedicated and set apart as a public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people." see the related link below for more info

Answer 3

The land that is now Yellowstone NP was already an almost unique place in nature when the first humans arrived about 12,000 years ago. In other words, nobody created the landscape itself.

The person most responsible for ensuring that the land was not sold to private developers -- who would almost certainly have pillaged the area, destroying its essential character forever -- was Ferdinand Hayden.

The legislation to set aside this land "for the benefit and enjoyment of the people" was signed into law by President Grant on 1872 March 1.
