William Henry Jackson
September 10, 1874
Led by guide John Moss, a miner and politician familiar with the area, Jackson and his team photographed Ancestral Puebloan sites throughout the Mesa Verde region. Their encounter with the dwelling now known as Two Story House was the first known photographic documentation of the site by settlers. The site is now part of Mesa Verde National Park.
