Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the time period from 1807, when John Colter first discovered the wonders of the Yellowstone Plateau to the 1920s when tourists sped between luxury hotels in their automobiles, these tales of Wonderland come from the letters, journals, and diaries kept by early visitors and later tourists. The earliest stories recount mountain men’s awe at geysers hurling boiling water hundreds of feet into the air and their encounters with the native inhabitants of the region. The latest stories reflect the “civilizing” of the park and reveal the golden age of tourist travel in the area.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After its establishment in 1872, Yellowstone National Park was sufficiently famous that numerous people risked bear maulings, Indian attacks, and geyser burns just to glimpse its wonders. A surprising number of those who survived wrote about their adventures. The best of these stories are collected in Adventures in Yellowstone. Presenting a dozen narratives—journal entries, letters, and diaries—with an introduction to each, and with historic photographs, postcards, and woodcuts, this book is the essential compilation of the most gripping first-person accounts of the early years of America's most cherished national park.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In July and August of 1885, George W. Wingate, a prominent and wealthy New Yorker, together with his wife and their seventeen-year-old daughter, May, took a horseback trip through Yellowstone Park. Wingate observed, "If I had gone to Africa instead of to the Yellowstone, I could scarcely have had more trouble in obtaining reliable information in regard to the journey, " and so he wrote this book on his return in order to help others."--BOOK JACKET. "In this travel account, historians, scientists, and those who love Yellowstone Park will all find something of interest - from the lithographs of how the Park appeared at the time of the trip to instructions on how to sight a rifle correctly (Wingate was cofounder of the National Rifle Association and an expert on weapons and marksmanship), to what to take on such a journey (for both ladies and men), to the flora and fauna one might find."--BOOK JACKET.
