THE BUFFALO. by Colonel Henry Inman with "Buffalo Bill" Cody.
America nearly lost its buffalo (or bison, to be more accurate), but in an early conservation effort a small herd was retained. This has now grown into a sizable population, which recall to us the vast herds that once roamed and even blackened the plains. This story, however, is told by one who at one point in his career was actively engaged in slaughtering the animals. They were a nuisance that got in the way of the new trains, and, besides, eliminating buffaloes might help in subduing Indians. Life habits of the animal are given as well, and what better way to learn of the place in our history of the buffalo than by reading an account by one of the principals in their history. Reprinted from 1898. Illustrations are by Frederic Remington and others. 48 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.

Discovered in the 1960s, they have had major uses in the biotechnology industry with the potential for billions of dollars of activity..

THE YELLOWSTONE STORY, Volume II. by Aubrey L. Haines.
Continuation of the story from Vol. I.: The fledgling national park is "rescued" by the Army as its first protectors, arriving in the park in 1886, long after the park's creation in 1872. They were needed to ensure the park was to remain "imparted for the enjoyment of future generations" as required by the founding legislation. The Army patrolled the park, provided engineering and construction for a road system. Railroads lobbied to provide access for tourists and threatened to construct lines in the park itself. But this changed with the coming of the auto and therefore the phasing out of stagecoach tours. Next came the park rangers and how they evolved management practices best for the park and its visitors. Back material includes extensive chapter notes, bibliography, biographies of park explorers and figures, statistics of visitation and appropriation, and legislation. Historical photos, maps. 562 pages, index.

YELLOWSTONE'S GEYSERS: the story behind the scenery (MT/WY/ID). by Duncan Foley.
Ancient rainfall and snowmelt seep into the earth, where the waters are heated by residual magma in a supervolcano.  The waters then rise to form more than 10,000 thermal features, including hot springs, mud pots, fumaroles and the world's greatest concentration of geysers. In 1883 Henry J. Winser described " The Park is a region of wonder, terror and delight.  Nature puts forth all her powers, and her moods are ever changing from "grave to gay, from lively to severe." "Here tremendous geysers shoot up their mighty fountains, causing the earth to groan and tremble by their violence; countless hot springs, indescribable in their strange beauty, show depths as translucent as the ambient air; pools of seething mud, casting up jets of colored paste, bewilder by their curious activity."  48 pages, 68 color photos, large-format.

THE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK. by John Muir.
Here is what may well be Muir's most literary piece of nature writing, inspired not by the Sierra Nevada he was more familiar with, but by the wonders of the Yellowstone region. The text tells of the park's geysers, lakes, mountains, animals, flowers and trees, petrified forest--of the "blessed old Yellowstone Wonderland." It is the source for his oft-quoted phrase:
         "Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
         Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
         The winds will blow their own freshness into you,
         and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves."
Tips on how to travel in the park around the turn-of the-century are included! Illustrated with drawings and engravings. 80 pages, 6 x 9, coated stock. See sample pages, illustrations.
