Joanne's Reviews > A Place Called Yellowstone: The Epic History of the World’s First National Park

Overall this was a book well worth reading if the subject is of interest to you. Having been to Yellowstone in 2023, I found both the geological descriptions and human history rewarding. Admittedly, there are parts heavy with names of who did what and who did something else later. But there are exciting detailed stories such as the capture of an infamous poacher in the 1890s and the thriller-worthy account of the fires in 1988, as well as captivating stories of bringing back from near extinction the only remaining genetically pure herd of bison and reintroducing grey wolves to Yellowstone (along with fascinating and unexpected side effects).
