Janet Chapple's "Through Early Yellowstone: Adventuring by Bicycle, Covered Wagon, Foot, Horseback, and Skis" is an attractive, well-layed out anthology of writings by people who have traversed Yellowstone Park via bicycle, covered wagon, etc. There are also photos included, which I just love by the way.
Accounts include my favorite by Eleanor Quackenbush Corthell. I would love to travel Yellowstone in a covered wagon, but I would be more likely to attempt to follow in the footsteps of C. Hanford Henderson. The watercolors by Welsh artist Thomas H. Thomas (which I would love to see in person) enhanced the book as well.
I would recommend this book to any travel and/or history buffs out there. The book is highly detailed and well done. My copy of this work was obtained from the Goodreads website and I appreciate the opportunity to read and review it.
