Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the days of the Model T, there were few rural roads that "automobilists" could use. The rough dirt wagon roads often turned to mud. The government had lost interest in roads when the railroads came. So, in the American tradition, concerned citizens formed groups to "do it themselves." Some were well-financed industrial groups. Some, like the Yellowstone Trail Association, represented grass roots boosters who hoped for a better future for their small towns. The Yellowstone Trail opened the great Northwest to auto travel, including the main route to Yellowstone National Park from east and west coasts. Trail associations painted their symbols on roadside telegraph poles and rocks, charged towns and businesses an advertising fee, beckoned tourists and lobbied governments to fund "their" road. They were successful in establishing interstate routes. But then the governments began building, maintaining, and numbering roads; down came the colorful symbols and names and up went sterile numbers. And when the Depression arrived, the death knell sounded for trail associations. Today the old route of the Yellowstone Trail is marked piecemeal by Interstate, US, state and county highway numbers. But in some places the old route is no longer a road. There is a farm near Mobridge, South Dakota, where on a sunny afternoon you can see a slight depression of a long-ago road in the waving grass and a small rising bank as the depression turns and disappears over a low hill. Stand in the quiet and imagine the clanking of the Model T, the purring of the Studebaker Six, and the chatter of the Winton.

Download or read book Yellowstone written by Sarah Cauble and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-03-21 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With eleven brilliant color photos of wildlife, geysers, and scenery, this board book is a great way to show the marvels of Yellowstone National Park to very young children. Each photo is paired with a delightful rhyming verse that educationally describes a feature of the photo's subject, from "stinky" thermal springs to "knobby-kneed" moose. Each image was taken in Yellowstone by noted photographer Christopher Cauble; the rhymes were written by Christopher and his wife, Sarah; and the book was designed by Sarah. They created the book to share the wonders of Yellowstone with their young daughter. Yellowstone: A National Park Primer is a wonderful introduction to Yellowstone and to nature for pre-school, beginning readers. Sample rhymes: If you patiently wait and the time is just right, Old Faithful erupts to a towering height. Find moose in marshy meadows or beneath the shade of trees. They wade through the water with long legs and knobby knees.
