An evocative blend of history and nature writing that tells the story of Yellowstone's evolving significance in American culture through the stories of 10 iconic figures.
Yellowstone is America's premier national park. Today Yellowstone is often a byword for conservation, natural beauty, and a way for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors. But it was not always this way. Wonderlandscape presents a new perspective on Yellowstone, the emotions that various natural wonders and attractions evoke, and how this explains the park's relationship to America as a whole.
Whether it is artists or naturalists, entrepreneurs or pop-culture icons, each character in the story of Yellowstone ends up reflecting and redefining the park for the values of its era. For example, when Ernest Thompson Seton wanted to observe bears in 1897, his adventures highlighted the way the park transformed from a set of geological oddities to a wildlife sanctuary, reflecting a nation that was concerned about disappearing populations of bison and other species. Subsequent eras added Rooseveltian masculinity, democratic patriotism, ecosystem science, and artistic inspiration as core Yellowstone hallmarks.
As the National Park system enters its second century, Wonderlandscape allows us to reflect on the values and heritage that Yellowstone alone has come to represent - how it will shape the America's relationship with her land for generations to come.

Great history of Yellowstone

It is interesting how Yellowstone has been managed--and often mismanaged--over the years. I thought the accounts were well told and balanced, and tried to give the reader a perspective of the time in which some of the bad decisions have been made.
Does the Park Service have it "right" now? Probably not completely right, but maybe closer than in other times. Anyone who visits Yellowstone will undoubtedly experience at least a little irritation at some point in addition to the wonder.

Many of the pretenses are so far left, the book is painful to listen to.
If it’s wrong from the beginning, it’s way off course
