Description:

|
An assignment to provide magazine illustrations for an article on the Yellowstone Territory inspired Moran to request travel with an 1871 expedition to that region. In 1872 geologists used his watercolor studies of Yellowstone to successfully argue for Congressional legislation protecting the area as the first national park. Moran made many journeys to study scenic motifs, with some travels sponsored by the railroad companies who were impressed with the way his art celebrated the newly opening far West. Acoma is a 365 feet (111 m) mesa, about 60 miles (97 km) west of Albuquerque, New Mexico; the Acoma Pueblo sits on top. (Source: Grove Art Online; http://www.oxfordart online.com/)
