TA's grandparents Thomas and Sarah were among many Mormon families who were promised land and religious freedom in Salt Lake City. The Moulton family immigrated from England in 1856. Their long journey broke down in Nebraska, with some pressing on into Wyoming. With hundreds facing death, Brigham Young sent a relief wagon train. Charles Moulton, a son of Thomas and Sarah, was among those rescued. He would eventually have a family of nine, the eighth being TA.
In 1912, TA, his new bride, his brother John, and neighbors settled just east of the Tetons in an area called Mormon Row. The barn began construction in 1913 with a flat roof and expanded over time to house his horses and pigs, contributing to the unique look of the barn.
John D. Rockefeller, under the guise of the Snake River Land Company, began buying up land in the mid-1920's for the eventual Grand Teton National Park. John Moulton sold his 160-acre parcel in 1953. TA sold his acreage in 1963, keeping one acre for future generations. The great-grandchildren live there today south of this barn.
This print is a stitch of several Zeiss Milvus 50mm/2 Nikon D850 images stitched together into a 16142-pixel wide 3x1 panoramic image that can be optimally printed five to six feet wide. A double-matted version, for inclusion in my signature framed line, will be assembled for presentation in coming months.
For those preferring a more traditional format, a 3x2 35mm format is also available.
