The Yellowstone Story, Revised Edition, Volume II: A History of Our First National Park
First published in 1977, former park historian Aubrey Haines's
two-volume set on Yellowstone National Park has long been
acknowledged as the authoritative history of the United State's
first national park. Now updated with new photographs and revised
text, The Yellowstone Story covers the park from prehistoric times
through the Native Americans and early explorers to the
establishment of the park and increasing use. It concludes with a
discussion of the alternative policy choices that park
administrators and the public will confront in the near future.
Comprehensive in its scope and delightfully entertaining in its
detail, both this and the companion volume are vital reading for
all visitors and historians interested in Yellowstone National
Park.
