This manual covers the Yellowstone National Park, a significant American landmark celebrated for its natural beauty and conservation efforts. The park's importance has evolved over time, transforming from a collection of geological curiosities into a vital wildlife sanctuary. Its story is intertwined with the nation's values, reflecting changing perspectives on the environment, conservation, and the human relationship with the natural world.
The purpose of this manual is to provide comprehensive information regarding Yellowstone National Park. It delves into the park's historical significance, its role in American culture, and the evolution of its identity through the lens of influential figures. Readers will gain insights into how various eras have shaped the perception and importance of Yellowstone, from its early days to its current status as a symbol of conservation and natural wonder.
An evocative blend of history and nature writing that tells the story of Yellowstone’s evolving significance in American culture through the stories of ten iconic figures.
Yellowstone is America's premier national park. Today is often a byword for conservation, natural beauty, and a way for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors. But it was not always this way.
Wonderlandscape presents a new perspective on Yellowstone, the emotions various natural wonders and attractions evoke, and how this explains the park's relationship to America as a whole.
Whether it is artists or naturalists, entrepreneurs or pop-culture icons, each character in the story of Yellowstone ends up reflecting and redefining the park for the values of its era. For example, when Ernest Thompson Seton wanted to observe bears in 1897, his adventures highlighted the way the park transformed from a set of geological oddities to a wildlife sanctuary, reflecting a nation was concerned about disappearing populations of bison and other species. Subsequent eras added Rooseveltian masculinity, democratic patriotism, ecosystem science, and artistic inspiration as core Yellowstone hallmarks.
As the National Park system enters its second century,
Wonderlandscape allows us to reflect on the values and heritage that Yellowstone alone has come to represent—how it will shape the America's relationship with her land for generations to come.
