Aubrey L. Haines, now retired, is the former park historian at Yellowstone National Park and author of Yellowstone Place Names.
"Aubrey Hains's two-volume set on Yellowstone National Park is the
authoritative history of the first American national park. Now in
an updated edition, with new photographs and a revised text, The
Yellowstone Story covers the park from prehistoric times through
the Native Americans and early explorers to the establishment of
the park and increasing use. It concludes with a discussion of the
alternative policy choices that park administrators and the public
will confront in the near future. Comprehensive in its scope and
delightfully entertaining in its detail, The Yellowstone Story is
vital reading for all visitors and historians interested in one of
our country's most popular wilderness parks. Haines is also the
author a companion volume, Yellowstone Place Names: Mirrors Of
History (838-8 $17. 50) in which the many names of Yellowstone are
put into proper historical perspective by grouping place names
according to the time of their appearance and the circumstances of
their naming. A rich and engaging context which will further
promote the enjoyment of park visitors and anyone interested in
western history."
