"Russell accompanied Hayden on an exploration of Wyoming in 1868. Ferdinand V. Hayden was an American geologist and explorer. He was one of the first Euro-Americans to explore, in 1871, and report about Yellowstone. The photographer William Henry Jackson and the painter Thomas Moran accompanied Hayden's expedition. Jackson's photographs and Moran's watercolors were instrumental in the establishment of Yellowstone as the first National Park." remarks per Glenn Willumson for the NEA Russell Grant, July 2013 - June 2015.
