Book Description
Excerpt from The Yellowstone National Park: Historical and Descriptive Thus it results that this revision of The Yellowstone is full of reminiscence to the author - a fact which is doubt less sufficiently apparent in the following pages. But it has also been a work of painstaking care, and no labor has been spared to make the book an authority upon the sub jcet of which it treats. In the historical section greater care has been taken in the literary form; the repertoire of Bridger stories has been enlarged, and additional facts are presented concerning that interesting pioneer, John Colter. The descriptive section has been extensively altered to conform to the progress of events, particularly in their relation to the administrative work of the Park. As to the subject-matter itself, the author may properly repeat here from the preface of the previous edition that in every important respect the Yellowstone Park has so far fulfilled the expectation of its founders and has justified the wisdom of its creation. Our national parks are grow ing into an institution and the Yellowstone was the pioneer and remains the most important of them all. If ofiicial ambition for innovation and mercenary ambition for private gain are held under adequam restraint, there is no reason why it may not continue to the latest generation a genuine example of original nature - a benefit and an enjoyment, as the Act of Dedication puts it, to the people whose wisdom has preserved it to posterity.

Book Description
Excerpt from Yellowstone National Park There are many who cannot well spare time to make an extended trip, but those who can should by all means plan to stop two or more days, or even weeks, at each hotel. There is so much to see at each point that several days may easily and profitably be thus spent, and those who act wisely will do this and in this way obtain a much better idea of the wonderful and varied character of the phenomena in the park. There is no reason for not doing the park as leisurely as one may, and there is no additional charge for transportation where one extends the regular tour beyond the usual time limit. After leaving Livingston the tourist travels for 54 miles on the Yellowstone Park branch line amidst fine scenery, passing (through the Gate of the Mountains, Paradise valley, Yankee Jim's canon, and by Emigrant peak, Cinnabar mountain and the Devil's Slide to Gardiner, the official gateway to the park, where the coaches of the transportation company are taken to Mammoth Hot Springs, 5 miles distant. And nearly feet above Gardiner. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Yellowstone National Park: Historical and Descriptive; Illustrated With Maps, View and Portraits In submitting to the public this second revision of "The Yellowstone," reference to the author's official connection, now permanently severed, with the region to which it relates may not be out of place. It has proven a rule almost without exception that those who have been assigned to duty in the Park, whether in public or private capacity, have become enamored of the service there and have accepted its termination with feelings of affectionate regret. Such was emphatically the author's experience. A two years' detail (1891-92) as assistant to the officer in charge of road construction, developed an interest in that region which has never since diminished. The first edition of "The Yellowstone" (1895) was an outgrowth of that early acquaintance. Later, in 1899, after the close of the Spanish-American war, the author was again sent to the Park, this time in exclusive charge of the road work. By a fortunate combination of circumstances Congress was induced to give upward of a million dollars for the work during the next seven years and thus to make possible the development of a really comprehensive system of highways. This work, which embraced the construction, more or less complete, of about four hundred miles of mountain roads, was of absorbing interest, and it is a matter of no especial credit that the author should have given to it, from beginning to end, the utmost of his time and abilities. It was in the fullest sense a labor of love and to an unusual degree one of direct personal supervision. Disappointment there was, as in all similar work, in the never-ceasing, but rarely successful, effort to bridge completely the chasm between an ideal result and that which available resources permit.
