Complete collection of views showcasing the natural wonders of Yellowstone. Views likely by Forsyth. Norman A. Forsyth (1869-1949) was a photographer who operated a studio out of Butte, Montana, from 1904-1930, working for Underwood and Underwood and later Keystone View Company. Underwood & Underwood was established by brothers, Bert and Elmer Underwood in 1882. At their production peak, they were producing thousands of stereoviews a day. They eventually sold their stock and rights to Keystone View Company. Yellowstone National Park was created by an Act of Congress on March 1, 1872, and in 1886 the United States Army took over administrative duties. In 1916, the newly formed National Park Service assumed control and has operated Yellowstone National Park ever since.
