The chilling tome that launched an entire genre of books about the often gruesome but always tragic ways people have died in our national parks, this updated edition of the classic includes calamities in Yellowstone from the past sixteen years, including the infamous grizzly bear attacks in the summer of 2011 as well as a fatal hot springs accident in 2000. In these accounts, written with sensitivity as cautionary tales about what to do and what not to do in one of our wildest national parks, Whittlesey recounts deaths ranging from tragedy to folly—from being caught in a freak avalanche to the goring of a photographer who just got a little too close to a bison. Armchair travelers and park visitors alike will be fascinated by this important book detailing the dangers awaiting in our first national park.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In July 1981, David Allen Kirwan, 24, of La Canada, California, and his friend Ronald Ratliff, 25, of Thousand Oaks, parked their truck at Yellowstone’s Fountain Paint Pot parking lot. While they looked at the hot springs, Ratliff’s dog Moosie escaped and jumped into nearby Celestine Pool. Kirwan went into the pool to save the dog. #2 The idea of being boiled to death in a hot spring is a truly terrifying one for any rational person. However, this has happened more frequently in Yellowstone National Park than it has with grizzly bears. #3 The number of tourists in Yellowstone Park increased as it became more accessible, and so did the chances of visitor injury. In 1882, a traveler named Walter Watson fell into a long and deep geyser tube, while accompanied by three other men, who gave him up for dead and left. #4 In the 1880s, hot-spring injuries began to occur in greater numbers as visitors to Yellowstone increased. A Mr. Crossman was scalded in the Fountain Paintpot in 1884, a young boy in the same summer who convalesced at Marshall’s Hotel, and another man in the Artists’ Paintpots in 1888.

Widely believed to be the first national park in the world, Yellowstone is an American national park situated in the western United States spanning parts of Wyoming, Idaho, and Montana. World famous for its wildlife and geothermal features, it contains a large range of biomes and is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion. First published in 1871, “Thirty-Seven Days of Peril” is an account of Truman Everts' visit to Yellowstone before it became a popular tourist and hiking destination. Within it, he recounts how he sustained an injury and was forced to spend thirty-seven days completely alone in the unforgiving wilderness. A compelling account of human ingenuity and determination in the face of dire circumstances not to be missed by those with an interest in Yellowstone park and its history. Contents include: “Yellowstone National Park”, “Trees in Yellowstone Forest, A Poem By Florence Riley Radcliffe”, and “Thirty-Seven Days of Peril”. Read & Co. History is proudly republishing this classic account now in a brand new edition complete with an introductory article from “Encyclopædia Britannica, Volume 28” (1911).

Adventures in the wilderness can be dramatic and deadly. Glacier National Park’s death records date back to January 1913, when a man froze to death while snowshoeing between Cut Bank and St. Mary. All told, 260 people have died or are presumed to have died in the park during the first hundred years of its existence. One man fell into a crevasse on East Gunsight Peak while skiing its steep north face, and another died while moonlight biking on the Sun Road. A man left his wife and five children at the Apgar picnic area and disappeared on Lake McDonald. His boat was found halfway up the west shore wedged between rocks with the propeller stuck in gravel. Collected here are some the most gripping accounts in park history of these unfortunate events caused by natural forces or human folly.

A thrilling read set in the American West from New York Times bestseller C.J. Box, award-winning author of the Joe Pickett and Cassie Dewell series, now adapted into the hit TV shows Joe Pickett and Big Sky. Joe Pickett, fired from his job as a Wyoming game warden, is working on his father-in-law's ranch when he receives a visit from Governor Rulon. The governor - a devious but down-home politico - has a special request, one Joe knows he can't refuse. Lawyer Clay McCann slaughtered four campers in a far-off corner of Yellowstone, then immediately turned himself in at the nearest ranger station. Seemed like a slam-dunk case for law enforcement... except that the crimes were committed on a sliver of land with zero residents and overlapping jurisdictions, the so-called free-fire zone. McCann has taken advantage of an obscure loophole in the law: neither the state nor the federal government can try the worst mass murderer in Wyoming history for his crime. Rulon, sensitive to the rising tide of public outrage, wants his own investigation into the murders and will reinstate Joe as a game warden if he'll go to Yellowstone 'without portfolio' to investigate. Joe, happy to get his badge back, even under these circumstances, agrees. It quickly becomes clear that McCann is deeply involved with some illegal activity taking place in the park - something tremendously lucrative and unusually dangerous. As Joe and his associate Nate Romanowski search for the key to the murders, they discover that it may be hidden in the rugged terrain of the park itself. Reviews for Free Fire 'Absorbing... his best yet.' Publishers Weekly 'The setting, action, new characters and old favourites join together to enrich this compelling tale.' Denver Post 'Delivers like a well-oiled rifle taking down its trophy elk at three hundred yards.' Madison County Herald 'A splendid thriller, deftly plotted and skillfully executed.' San Diego Union-Tribune
