From Humble Beginnings to Artistic Triumph
Born in 1843 in Keeseville, New York, Jackson's early life was marked by both hardship and adventure. As a young man, he worked as a blacksmith, a wagon-maker, and even a soldier during the Civil War. It was not until after the war that he discovered his true calling in photography.
Through his extraordinary skill and unwavering determination, Jackson ascended the ranks of landscape photography, becoming one of the most sought-after artists of his time. His commissions took him to the far corners of the American West, where he captured the breathtaking beauty of Yellowstone, Yosemite, and the Grand Tetons.
Witnessing the Birth of the National Parks
Jackson's photographs played a pivotal role in the establishment of the National Park System. His images of Yellowstone's geysers and canyons helped convince Congress to designate the area as the first national park in 1872. He continued to document the wonders of the West, capturing the pristine landscapes that would later become national treasures.
"I feel that I have been a sort of pioneer photographer, helping to open up the country and show the world its beauties." - William Henry Jackson
