Yellowstone is one of America's best known national parks. Established
in 1872, it continues to fascinate us with its diverse scenery and
wildlife. This is the place of geysers and waterfalls, of bears and
bison, and where conservation and environmental consciousness were born.
Steeped in history, this national treasure is brought to life through
both vintage postcards and contemporary photographs. Visit the famous
geysers and mud pots, canyon waterfalls, lakes, valleys, and wildlife,
plus the most renowned of all the lodges in the National Park system --
the Old Faithful Inn. Travel back to when stagecoaches were the primary
mode of transportation and luxury hotels were built to serve wealthy
train travelers and discover how the automobile and the Grand Loop Road
system expanded the park's accessibility and affordability. This book is
a treasured keepsake for those who love the national parks and a great
resource guide for history buffs.
