Wingate, a prominent and wealthy New Yorker, together with his wife and their seventeen-year-old daughter, May, took a horseback trip through Yellowstone Park. Wingate observed, "If I had gone to Africa instead of to the Yellowstone, I could scarcely have had more trouble in obtaining reliable information in regard to the journey, " and so he wrote this book on his return in order to help others."--BOOK JACKET. "In this travel account, historians, scientists, and those who love Yellowstone Park will all find something of interest - from the lithographs of how the Park appeared at the time of the trip to instructions on how to sight a rifle correctly (Wingate was cofounder of the National Rifle Association and an expert on weapons and marksmanship), to what to take on such a journey (for both ladies and men), to the flora and fauna one might find."--BOOK JACKET.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through the Yellowstone Park on HorsebackIn June, 1885, I decided to undertake a trip through the Rocky Mountains, with my wife and eldest daughter, a young lady of seventeen. The latter had been quite ill during the preceding winter from an affection of the lungs, and I was advised that exercise and open air life at a high altitude would remove all traces of her disease, a result which I am glad to say was fully accomplished by the trip.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Spirit of Yellowstone written by Judith L. Meyer and published by Roberts Rinehart. This book was released on 2003-06-23 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yellowstone National Park's famous geysers, exotic landscape, and beautiful wildlife partially explain its enormous popularity, but there is something more to the Yellowstone experience—a powerful spirit to the place that is more than the sum of its parts. This fascinating history of America's favorite national park shows how that spirit has endured over Yellowstone's 127-year existence. Meyer shows that Yellowstone has consistently evoked awe in different generations of Americans, even as our attitudes toward nature have changed over the years. That awe is also captured in photographer Vance Howard's evocative images, which, alongside historic photographs and other early artistic interpretations of the Park's wonders, support Meyer's view that Yellowstone's unique sense of place makes it worth preserving not only for its ecological value but for its lasting importance in American culture.

Download or read book Searching for Yellowstone written by Norman K Denzin and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-09-17 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Yellowstone. Sacagawea. Lewis & Clark. Transcontinental railroad. Indians as college mascots. All are iconic figures, symbols of the West in the Anglo-American imagination. Well-known cultural critic Norman Denzin interrogates each of these icons for their cultural meaning in this finely woven work. Part autoethnography, part historical narrative, part art criticism, part cultural theory, Denzin creates a postmodern bricolage of images, staged dramas, quotations, reminiscences and stories that strike to the essence of the American dream and the shattered dreams of the peoples it subjugated.

Download or read book Dispossessing the Wilderness written by Mark David Spence and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1999-04-15 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National parks like Yellowstone, Yosemite, and Glacier preserve some of this country's most cherished wilderness landscapes. While visions of pristine, uninhabited nature led to the creation of these parks, they also inspired policies of Indian removal. By contrasting the native histories of these places with the links between Indian policy developments and preservationist efforts, this work examines the complex origins of the national parks and the troubling consequences of the American wilderness ideal. The first study to place national park history within the context of the early reservation era, it details the ways that national parks developed into one of the most important arenas of contention between native peoples and non-Indians in the twentieth century.
Download or read book Off with the Crack of a Whip written by Lee H. Whittlesey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 508 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stagecoaches carried visitors to and through Yellowstone National Park for thirty-eight years, from 1878 to 1916, and helped establish Yellowstone as a world-famous travel destination. This Volume One of a two-volume set by preeminent Yellowstone historian Lee Whittlesey is an engaging account of stagecoaching’s first years in the park. In lively, often humorous prose, Whittlesey describes the evolution of stagecoach travel in Yellowstone, the colorful men—and women—who ran the stagecoach companies, and the types of stagecoaches that carried tourists in the park, including the famed “Tally-ho” design. Along the way, Whittlesey profiles the stagecoach drivers who were “rough and profane but men of undoubted nerve,” and he shares stories from passengers who were appalled by their drivers, the “mind-shattering and bone-rattling” roads, the armed hold-ups, and the relentless dust, yet who were entranced by the wonders of this new Wonderland. "A new book by Yellowstone’s premier historian is always cause for celebration. Lee Whittlesey’s “Off with the Crack of a Whip!” is both a lively, colorful paean to the park’s legendary stagecoach days and an astonishing achievement of research on an encyclopedic scale. An amazing book.” — Paul Schullery, author of Searching for Yellowstone and The Bear Doesn’t Know “This book is an excellent source for anyone doing research on Yellowstone history, because stagecoach tourism, as Lee Whittlesey shows, was intertwined with almost every aspect of Yellowstone’s development. Thoroughly well-documented, “Off with the Crack of a Whip!” is a fascinating ride into Yellowstone’s stagecoaching past.” — Dr. Judith Meyer, Professor Emeritus, Missouri State University-Springfield (retired), and author of The Spirit of Yellowstone
