The Stories of Yellowstone: Adventure Tales from the World's First National Park - Paperback

M. Mark Miller is a fifth-generation Montanan who grew up on a ranch in southwest Montana about 90 miles from Yellowstone Park. His interest in early park travel began when he was a small boy listening to his grandmother's tales of such things as baking bread in hot springs and tossing red flannels into geysers so their next eruptions would be tinted pink. His articles on Yellowstone Park and Montana history have appeared in the Big Sky Journal and the Pioneer Museum Quarterly. Globe Pequot published his first book, Adventures in Yellowstone: Early Travelers Tell Their Tales, under its Two Dot imprint in 2009. He is working on a narrative history of the encounters between Yellowstone tourists and the Nez Perce Indians who fled through the park in 1877.
