Historic Yellowstone National Park

The Stories Behind the World's First National Park

De: Bruce T. Gourley

Narrado por: Sandra Murphy

Historic Yellowstone National Park captures the most interesting moments in the park’s history, the slices of life in Montana and Wyoming that provide an idea of what life was like for those who chose to explore this gloriously beautiful corner of the United States. There’s the presence of Native Americans in the early years of the area’s history, the early explorers and expeditions, its debut as the very first national park, the explosive growth of tourism, and the people who made history in this astonishing and mysterious Rocky Mountain landscape. Historic Yellowstone National Park provides just enough of this rich history to make the experience of visiting the park better than expected.

like it is being read to a child

Some good info but not worth the money. Had to stop in the middle because of the narration

The back history from 1972-1930

Great documentation about Yellowstone.
The book jumps around a lot with dates and it’s hard to keep up sometimes.

A missed opportunity

What could have been an extremely informative historic book telling us the story of Yellowstone is instead used repeatedly as a bludgeon for modern political opinions.

Liberal love story

Awful, has little to nothing to do with the park, just leftist talking points. If you're an environmentalist wacko you'll love it!

Poor performance

A nicely written book that’s rendered totally unlistenable by the narration that is delivered in the same detached manner of a public-address announcer. I kept expecting her to intone, “Than you for calling. Your call is important to us….”
