Images of the Past
The exceptional black and white photographs of Glacier National Park created by George Grant offer a remarkable glimpse into the park's past. National Park Service Director Horace Albright appointed Grant as the agency's first official photographer in 1929 One of his first assignments entailed traveling park to parks and using his camera to document the features and resources of each unit he visited. Grant's trips to Glacier in 1932 and 1933 resulted in images that vividly capture the visitor experience of that era.
