Published in anticipation of the 150th anniversary of the establishment
of Yellowstone National Park in 2022, this book collects historic
photographs, classic art, and an accompanying narrative that traces the
history of the area from its Native American inhabitants to the present.
Sidebars include profiles of the artists such as Thomas Moran who made
the park famous, how the "subculture" of park employees has evolved over
the years, the role of wildlife biologists in range management, as well
as the ebb and flow of its large mammal populations as an increased
human presence has put pressure on the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem.
Notwithstanding these challenges, the book is a celebration of the
resilience of the place earlier visitors aptly called "Wonderland."
