Yellowstone National Park is though to be the first national park establish in the world. At first the land was up for public auction or possible settlement, but Ferdinand Hayden (a geologist) wanted to protect the land for ecological reasons and future generations. Present Grant signed the Act of Dedication for people to take pleasure in the land. Yet, citizens near the park wanted mine, log, and hunt. Native Americans were pushed off the land as well. A battle for supremacy continued for years.
