The Yellowstone National Park: Historical and Descriptive
Hiram Martin Chittenden, a captain in the United States Army Corps of Engineers who worked on roads in Yellowstone, published this history and description of the park in 1895. The historical part covers the Native peoples of the upper Yellowstone, the early trappers and their reports of boiling springs, the expeditions that explored the region and the campaign that led Congress to create the first national park in 1872. The descriptive part guides the reader through geysers, hot springs, canyons, waterfalls, lakes and wildlife. Revised many times, the book became a standard account of the park and remains useful for the history of its early years. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
