First published in 1895, this is the second revision from 1924, was made shortly before the death of the author in 1917. This general revision is the third, 356 pages, illustrated, and a folded back tipped into the back of the book. " A two years' detail (1891-92) as assistant to the officer in charge of road constuction, developed an interest in that region which has never since diminished. The first edition of this book in 1895 was an outgrowth of that early acquaintence. Later in 1899, afte the close of the Spanish-American war, the author was again sent to the Park, this time in exclusive charge of the road work. By a fortunate combination of circustances Congress was induced to give upwared a million dollars for the work during the next seven yeard and thus to make possible the development of a really comprehensive systme of highways. As to the subject-matter itself, the author may properly repeat here from the preface of the previous edition that in every important respect the Yellowstone Park has so far fulfilled the expectation of its founders and has justificed the widom of its creation. Our antional parks are growing into an institution and the Yellowstone was the pioneer and remains the most important of them all." VERY GOOD- HARDCOVER. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
