Adventures in Yellowstone

Autor M Mark Miller
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2009
Gripping first-person accounts of the early years of Americäs most cherished national park   After its establishment in 1872, Yellowstone National Park was sufficiently famous that a surprising number of people risked bear maulings, Indian attacks, and geyser burns just to glimpse its wonders. Many of those who survived wrote about their adventures. The best of those stories are collected here, in Adventures in Yellowstone.  This compilation includes a dozen narratives¿journal entries, letters, and diaries¿with individual introductions as well as historic photographs, postcards, and woodcuts. From Osborne Russell¿s colorful early accounts of the daily lives of mountain men in the 1840s to a story by Eleanor Corthell, who in 1903 took her seven children on a two-month, 1,200-mile tour of the park by wagon, each story opens a new window on a long-overlooked aspect of our nation¿s history.
