[LargeFormat] Biggest is Best Maybe?

[Les Newcomer]

If I remember by college history of photography, WHJ was 99 when he 
died in '42,  so he would have been in his 30's or late 20s. I think 
his foray's in to Yellowstone was in 1870-1874 ish and it was his 
photographs that help bring about the National park system. Yellowstone 
was the first and was designated as such July 4th, 1876.   I only know 
this as I was there 100 years later, armed with only an Argus C-3 I'm 
ashamed to say.
