This painting of Zion National Park was made by the American explorer\u00a0Frederick Samuel Dellenbaugh, who lived from\u00a0<\/b>1853\u20131935. \u00a0He was a talented man who had a\u00a0zest for travel, and the skills of a geographer. \u00a0He also was an author\u00a0and a painter.<\/p>\n

Dellenbaugh began traveling with expeditions at the young age of seventeen or eighteen. \u00a0His journeys as a member of expeditions in the West took him to two of the last “undiscovered” places of his time. \u00a0He and his companions, all amateur explorers, documented the location of the Henry Mountains in Utah. \u00a0He was part of John Wesley Powell’s second expedition of the Colorado River from 1871-1873.<\/p>\n

Dellenbaugh also was present with an expedition that came to the Escalante River, a tributary of the Colorado River which had not been put on record.<\/p>\n

Dellenbaugh’s skills as an artist kept him busy on expeditions: he made maps, recorded information about topography and painted images of place that were difficult to photograph.<\/p>\n

Canyons of the West<\/h3>\n

In 1884 Dellenbaugh, who loved the American West,\u00a0lived with the Hopi Indians of the Four Corners area.<\/p>\n

Dellenbaugh was impressed with the canyon\u00a0we now call ZION NATIONAL PARK. \u00a0At his first encounter, the area was called\u00a0Mukuntuweap National Monument.\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>He wrote of his admiration for it in Scribners magazine at the time, and since he was a well-traveled man, we know his impressions were founded on experience:<\/p>\n

“One hardly knows just how to think of it. Never before has such a naked mountain of rock entered our minds. Without a shred of disguise it transcendent form rises pre-eminent. There is almost nothing to compare to it. Niagara has the beauty of energy; the Grand Canyon of immensity; the Yellowstone of singularity; the Yosemite of altitude; the ocean of power; this Great Temple of eternity.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Dellenbaugh spent the summer of 1903 painting Zion Canyon, a place for which he obviously had a great attraction and affinity. \u00a0His paintings were exhibited in the 1904 St. Louis World\u2019s Fair.<\/p>\n

Dellenbaugh\u00a0was an accomplished author. \u00a0His book that describes journeys on the Colorado River was published in 1902 and has been reprinted many times.

In 1899, \u00a0was hired as a landscape painter for the Harriman Expedition, traveling up the coast of Alaska. \u00a0In later years he also traveled extensively and, as he had always done, kept a daily journal of his travels.<\/p>\n

His photos and some of his drawing, paintings, and photos of the expeditions he accompanied can be seen in the Yale University\u00a0<\/strong>The Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library<\/a>. \u00a0<\/strong>He was a cofounder and lifetime member of the Explorers Club<\/strong><\/a>, an organization still present\u00a0in Manhattan, New York City. \u00a0He served on the board of directors for the Eastern Association on Indian Affairs. \u00a0His papers include correspondence, a diary of the Powell expedition, manuscripts and drafts of his writings, research notes, sketches, photographs, newspaper clippings: all this and other printed matter can be found in the collections of the New York Public Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n
