Dr. George Marler’s comprehensive digest of geyser activity through the early 1970’s provides an excellent historic reference. The descriptions of hot springs and geysers was prepared by Marler for the U.S. Geological Survey, based on many years as a naturalist and geyser specialist with the National Park Service. Marler supplemented summaries of his observations with historical information.
