NEW YORK TIMES, Feb. 29, 1872  Page 4 has  somewhat inconspicuous, yet very historic report headed: "The Yellowstone Park Bill" which was passed the day prior creating the first National Park in the United States, as well as the entire world.
The report begins: "It is a satisfaction to know that the Yellowstone Park bill has passed the House. Our readers have been made well acquainted with the beautiful & astonishing features of a region unlike anyh other in the world..." with much more.
Eight pages, a very small piece missing from the lower corner of the page, otherwise in very good condition.
