Lost in the Yellowstone

De: Truman Everts

Narrado por: Jack Sondericker

In September 1870, Truman Everts was separated from one of the first exploratory parties in what is now Yellowstone National Park. With little food, equipment, or cold-weather clothing, Everts spent more than a month wandering the wilderness before two mountaineers found him alive: frostbitten, scalded, and delirious. Nobody else has been lost so long in Yellowstone and survived.

This is one of the West's most fantastic dramas, high adventure in every sense of the word. Lost in the Yellowstone contains Truman Everts's original high-adventure chronicle of hardship and survival, newly augmented with biographical and background information.

Amazing Tale of Being Lost in Yellowstone

This happy-ending tale is such a good reminder of how lucky we are to live today, driving on paved roads with GPS and eateries in all corners of the Earth!
I was only shocked to hear of how Everts treated the great man who saved him, when meeting up with him at a later date. People just haven’t changed.

Amazing

Fantastic story of survival. What man can endure is phenomenal. Down to 45 lbs & survived.

Marvelous journey of survival

This is an amazing story of fortitude and determination to survive in such a beautiful but harsh environment of Yellowstone. Having experience of being lost in the mountains in a blizzard this story was even more powerful and personal. The narrator, Jack Sondericker, gave it a wonderful touch. Would highly recommend.

Tragedy and cliffhanger story

I like the ageless style of the book. Driving through Yellowstone while listening with my boys was priceless and we all got something from our level! Highly recommend it. Don’t listen to the whining, just play it and drive.

Lost, with winter coming on!

Any additional comments?

Having experience in cold weather climates, one of the amazing feats of survival in this story is how Truman Everts survived without the proper clothing. Today we are kept warm and healthy with all the technology of a manufactured environment. To be hungry for so long while having to think about making decisions for your own survival is very well described in this book. It is also amazing how he got lost in the first place, his horse wandered off, then he could not find the people he was with. Later on after he's discovered, and he recovers, we find he's somewhat of a disagreeable person. You have to wonder if his getting lost was not by accident from the others that he was with. If you like the outdoors, if you have ever been to Yellowstone and the surrounding country you will like reading this book.

Incredible narrative in eloquent prose

Extremely well read as well, this firsthand account of exploring the Yellowstone caldera wilderness, becoming separated from the group, lost and ultimately found, explores the depths of human emotion, instinct and shear will to survive beyond anything I’ve ever imagined or read before.

A very unfortunate series of events...

The narrators voice was a great cast. It felt as if Mr. Everts was telling me his story himself. If I ever make it to Yellowstone I will remember be more prepared that Mr. Everts was.

we enjoyed this!

we were watching the Ken burns' national park series on PBS and they mentioned this book and so we got it and are very glad we did! amazing story of survival! and we really enjoyed all the extra stories about the rescue from other people's point of view.....this was our first audible book!

Only passable

Story is great. A well-told narrative of an extraordinary event. Rated it it 2 stars because the narrator's overdramatized reading (as if to a small child) was so distracting that I almost gave up.
