Sinossi
Grand Teton National Park draws more than three million visitors annually in search of wildlife, outdoor adventure, solitude, and inspiration. This collection of writings showcases the park&;s natural and human histories through stories of drama and beauty, tragedy and triumph.
 
Editor Robert Righter has selected thirty-five contributors whose work takes readers from the Tetons&; geological origins to the time of Euro-American encroachment and the park&;s politically tumultuous creation. Selections range from Laine Thom&;s Shoshone legend of the Snake River and Owen Wister&;s essay &;Great God! I&;ve Just Killed a Bear,&; to Grace Gallatin Seton-Thompson&;s humorous yet fearful account of crossing the Snake River, and William Owen&;s first attempt to climb the Grand Teton. Conservationists, naturalists, and environmentalists are also represented: Terry Tempest Williams chronicles her multiyear encounter with her &;Range of Memory,&; and Olaus and Mardy Murie recount the difficulties of &;park-making&; in an often-hostile human environment.
Anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the park&;s wild beauty and controversial past will want to read these stories by people who lived it.
