OH, RANGER!
a book about the national parks. by Horace M. Albright and Frank J. Taylor.
This is the classic, 1928 edition. Here is a nostalgic look at America's early national parks and their ranger service by
their director of that time. Author Albright was also a long-time superintendent of
Yellowstone National Park. Originally published in 1928 by Stanford University Press, and
available continuously ever since, this book relates humorous stories of bears and other
wild animals, Indians, fishing, park "dudes and sagebrushers" (hotel guests and
campers, respectively), the fledgling ranger service, and the antics of the American
tourist early in the roaring '20s. This edition includes the late author's last foreword
and a tribute from a former president and early Yellowstone ranger, Gerald Ford. To the pen-and-ink drawings from the original have been added 50 early park
photographs. 160 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.

ROCK ART OF THE AMERICAN INDIANby Campbell Grant.
This book surveys the myriad rock paintings and carvings--numbering possibly some
15,000 sites--pecked into and painted onto boulders and rock surfaces throughout North
America by its aboriginal artists. With photographs and drawings on virtually every page,
this book presents the rock artists through the work they left--illustrating their
extraordinarily diverse techniques, styles, and subjects. Meanings of the designs are
discussed, and their roles in hunting or puberty rites interpreted. Major rock art sites
are located, and methods of recording, preserving, and dating them are indicated. Author
Grant has done rock art books on the Chumash Indians, the Coso Range, and Canyon de
Chelly. 192 pages + 16 page color insert, large-format. See sample pages, illustrations.
