Caption: Gustavus Cheyney Doane was a soldier, inventor, author and explorer who felt he should be famous for "discovering" Yellowstone National Park and wealthy from one of his inventions. But neither fame nor wealth came his way. Instead government bureaucracy ignored him, scholarly jealously kept him out of the history books and fate snubbed him on his tombstone.
