The Stories of Yellowstone by Mark M. Miller Pdf

Covering the time period from 1807, when John Colter first discovered the wonders of the Yellowstone Plateau to the 1920s when tourists sped between luxury hotels in their automobiles, these tales of Wonderland come from the letters, journals, and diaries kept by early visitors and later tourists. The earliest stories recount mountain men’s awe at geysers hurling boiling water hundreds of feet into the air and their encounters with the native inhabitants of the region. The latest stories reflect the “civilizing” of the park and reveal the golden age of tourist travel in the area.

Adventures in Yellowstone by rk Mark Miller Pdf

After its establishment in 1872, Yellowstone National Park was sufficiently famous that numerous people risked bear maulings, Indian attacks, and geyser burns just to glimpse its wonders. A surprising number of those who survived wrote about their adventures. The best of these stories are collected in Adventures in Yellowstone. Presenting a dozen narratives—journal entries, letters, and diaries—with an introduction to each, and with historic photographs, postcards, and woodcuts, this book is the essential compilation of the most gripping first-person accounts of the early years of America's most cherished national park.

Nothing Short of Wondrous (American Wonders Collection Book #2) by Regina Scott Pdf

It is 1886, and the government has given the US Cavalry control of Yellowstone. For widowed hotelier Kate Tremaine, the change is a welcome one. She knows every inch of her wilderness home like the back of her hand and wants to see it protected from poachers and vandals. Refused a guide by Congress, Lieutenant William Prescott must enlist Kate's aid to help him navigate the sprawling park and track down the troublemakers. But a secret from his past makes him wary of the tender feelings the capable and comely widow raises in him. As they work together to protect the park and stand firm through injustice and tragedy, they may just find that two wounded hearts can share one powerful love when God is in control.

Stolen Sons by Rebecca Tebbs Nunn Pdf

Stolen Sons is a retreat to the bosom of the old South with its mansions, estates, plantations, beautiful women, gala balls, delicious foods, and life at a slower pace. Readers will delight in the courtship of Leila, aged twenty, and Louis, aged sixty, and the love shared by Hannah and John, Leila's parents. Against a Southern backdrop and interwoven with the love story, there is tragedy-the first-born sons of the Fox family are meeting violent deaths, one after another. Members of the family must discover what is causing the deaths in an effort to prevent more. Are they the result of an ancient Indian curse placed on Hannah's father Rainbow by his aunt Pale Dove? How can the Fox family negate the curse? Is there an antidote? Readers will become so intrigued with this family that loves, laughs, cries, mourns, and betrays one another that they will feel they are related to the characters. In the tradition of the old South, the reader will become "a first cousin, once-removed."
