Charles Moore drew some of the earliest images of features in what would become Yellowstone National Park. Intrigued by the stories about Yellowstone, Henry D. Washburn, Surveyor General of Montana Territory, organized an expedition to the Yellowstone wilderness in the summer of 1870, with a military escort led by Lieutenant Gustavus C. Doane. Nathaniel P. Langford, who would later become the first superintendent of Yellowstone National Park, also played a major role in the expedition.
