Product Info Reviews

Description:

Yellowstone National Park occupies a unique place in our national consciousness. In 1872 Congress dedicated this dramatic landscape of geysers and hot springs "as a public park or pleasuring ground for the benefit and enjoyment of the people," thus creating the world's first national park. Yellowstone's history has always been as much about this "benefit and enjoyment" as about preservation, to which this handsome book is a testament. An assemblage of historic photographs timed to coincide with the park's 125th anniversary, these black-and-white images of early tourism beautifully illustrate the unique pull the park has always exerted over the American imagination.
