Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Covering the time period from 1807, when John Colter first discovered the wonders of the Yellowstone Plateau to the 1920s when tourists sped between luxury hotels in their automobiles, these tales of Wonderland come from the letters, journals, and diaries kept by early visitors and later tourists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Six Weeks on Horseback Through Yellowstone Park It was my intention, when my husband and I joined the Rocky Mountain Camping Party for a size-week trip to and through the Yellowstone Park, to share the pleasure of that trip with my parents by writing every night a full account of what I had seen that day. I found, however, that I was usually too tired or too cold to write a long letter after we arrived at our camp, so I merely kept a diary. A large part of my diary was written while we were on the road and is scarcely legible. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
