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 will 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 will be a celebration of the resilience of the
place earlier visitors aptly called “Wonderland.”
