"Yellowstone is one of America's best known national parks.... Steeped in history, this national treasure is brought to life through the photography of I-Ting Chiang, whose work has been paired with historic postcards to showcase the enduring qualities of America's first national park. Scenes include the parks's famous geysers and mud pots, canyon waterfalls, lakes, valleys, and wildlife, plus the most renowned of all the lodges in the national park system, Old Faithful Inn. Where stagecoaches were once the primary mode of transportation and luxury hotels were built to serve wealthy train travelers, this book shows how the automobile and the park's Grand Loop Road system expanded the park's accessibility and affordability. Here too, the resurgence of the largest free-range buffalo herd is celebrated while paying homage to the U.S. Calvary that restored order in the park after rampant poaching and vandalism."--Jacket.
