Summary

Called by Foreword Reviews “a beautiful, informative, and highly entertaining read,” this anthology takes readers back to 1871-1916, before cars were allowed into Yellowstone National Park. Pioneering adventurers such as artist Anne Bosworth Greene and cyclist Frank Lenz tell their thrilling stories, accompanied by nineteenth-century photos and a gallery of hot springs watercolors from 1884.
