Bayard Taylor (1825 \u0096 1878) was an American poet, literary critic, translator, travel author, and diplomat. As a poet, he was very popular, with a crowd of more than 4,000 attending a poetry reading once, which was a record that stood for 85 years. His travelogues were popular in both the United States and Great Britain. He served in diplomatic posts in Russia and Prussia. Though he wanted to be known most as a poet, Taylor was mostly recognized as a travel writer during his lifetime. Modern critics have generally accepted him as technically skilled in verse, but lacking imagination and, ultimately, consider his work as a conventional example of 19th-century sentimentalism. One of the earliest guide books to Yellowstone, printed the year after the parks creation in 1873. First Edition. Complete plates. RAREA1873BLML - 05\/23 FORN-TUB-0084-BB-2507-HKREV1051.…
