Travels in the Greater Yellowstone
by Jack Turner
Jack Turner is, like me, one of the old geezers who has been around long enough to remember how "it used to be". The value of that, in spite of the skepticism of the youngsters making their way through life now, is that of perspective. Turner is a guide and the president of Exum Mountain Guides in Jackson Hole, and as such knows a thing or two about adventure. He has lived in the Yellowstone area for so long that he can see the changes - both good and bad - that have come with time. He also knows a thing or two about fishing. This is a beautiful work that views the enormity of the Yellowstone ecosystem from mulitple angles, providing a real sense of the challenges facing both the land and the people who live there. Whether you have wandered the country around Yellowstone or not, this book will leave you with a sense of the fragility of the earth and how we can soften our impact on it."
