Adventures in Yellowstone: Early Travelers Tell Their Tales

I'm planning a celebratory forty-year-anniversary visit to Yellowstone later this summer. To prepare, I'm slowly reading a lot of Yellowstone-ish books. This one is a collection of excerpts from the stories of early travelers to Yellowstone. Truman Everts got separated from his exploration party and spent thirty-seven days alone in Yellowstone, for example...now that's a story. Any number of wild animal attacks. A surprising number of people who were burned badly from geysters. I loved reading about the group of explorers that tentatively divided up, pre-park, Yellowstone's great sites and contemplated the riches each might obtain from future tourists there. If you are headed to Yellowstone or you just love Yellowstone, this is a book you will want to read.
