Languages : en
Pages : 428
Book Description
In 1892 Congress designated Yellowstone National Park as the world's first national park; 19 years later, the land adjacent to Yellowstone became America's first national forest reserve. Since that time, the entire Yellowstone region has been the scene of major battles over resource management - debates between those who would use the land for extraction of natural resources (mining, lumbering, and hunting, for example) and those who believe that wildlife and recreation should dominate land use.

Book Description
Searching for Yellowstone is the first environmental history of one of America's greatest and most far-reaching experiments. Combining exhaustive research with twenty-five years of experience at Yellowstone, Paul Schullery paints a dramatically new picture of the park and its meaning to the world, showing how Yellowstone's "discovery" by whites followed 10,000 years of occupation and use by native Americans, and how the park's founding became a creation myth for the conservation movement.
