Publisher Description
The chilling tome that launched an entire genre of books about the often gruesome but always tragic ways people have died in our national parks, this updated edition of the classic includes calamities in Yellowstone from the past sixteen years, including the infamous grizzly bear attacks in the summer of 2011 as well as a fatal hot springs accident in 2000. In these accounts, written with sensitivity as cautionary tales about what to do and what not to do in one of our wildest national parks, Lee H. Whittlesey recounts deaths ranging from tragedy to folly-from being caught in a freak avalanche to the goring of a photographer who just got a little too close to a bison. Armchair travelers and park visitors alike will be fascinated by this important book detailing the dangers awaiting in our first national park.
Customer Reviews
Holy cow!
This book starts off with a “Holy Cow story” almost immediately. If you are freaked out by it… hang in there because it is so good. There are so many stories within. I learned a lot about Yellowstone listening to the stories. Learned a lot of “what not to do”. Put this audiobook on and start a puzzle. Perfect day.
