On 30 August they reached away Ellis, where the expedition ended. One day later also Barlow with its troop in away Ellis arrived.
Barlows troop traveled to Chicago back. A little later, on 8 October there the large fire broke out, which vernichetete among other things almost all negatives of Hine. Therefore the meaning of the photos of Jackson and the pictures of Moran rose. They impressed the US-Parlamentier so strongly that them at the 1. March 1872 with the Yellowstone national park the first national park of the world created.
The success of the expedition overshadowed by the suicide of the leading Topographen Anton beautiful fount in Omaha on its return journey after Washington D.C.
