Download or read book Some Lakes of Glacier National Park written by John Elrod and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lakes and landscape of Glacier National Park in Montana are celebrated and detailed in this outstanding guidebook, first published in 1912 by John Morton Elrod with the oversight of the U.S. Dept. of the Interior. This edition includes photographs of the lakes described. All of the major bodies of water which comprise the Glacier National Park receive due mention in this handbook. The author was a professional surveyor who was tasked with discovering whether the lakes were suitable for the collection of the microscopic life which comprises fish food. Elrod's study, which occurred between 1909 and 1911, resulted in his creating an impressive narration of each lake and its properties. Although this book is somewhat dated to its time, describing technologies which are now obsolete, the overarching analysis of the National Park remains relevant and grounded in the author's long experiences. The water temperatures, distances between each lake and the next, and the various streams and rivulets which run into and between these are mentioned, while the topography and qualities of the surrounding lands receive consistent examination. Overall, Elrod's study remains a worthwhile and informative historical read, and a worthy handbook for those who are familiar with, or wish to explore, Glacier National Park.

This book was released on 2015-06-15 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is there to see in Glacier National Park after the sun goes down? As writer and photographer John Ashley reveals in his newest book, some of Glacier’s most awe-inspiring sights are found high above the mountaintops. Readers will marvel at Ashley’s spectacular color photographs of favorite Glacier landmarks such as Chief Mountain and St. Mary Lake lit by the Milky Way, northern lights, and a universe of wonders. These images complement Ashley’s text, which includes clear explanations of astronomical phenomena, traditional Blackfoot stories, Glacier National Park geology and history, and entertaining tales of his own run-ins with curious critters and park rangers. Ashley rallies readers to combat light pollution, a problem that has begun to erode the ancient beauty of one of the last truly dark places in the country.

Download or read book Montana's Pioneer Naturalist written by George M. Dennison and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2016-09-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A naturalist on Montana’s academic frontier, passionate conservationist Morton J. Elrod was instrumental in establishing the Department of Biology at the University of Montana, as well as Glacier National Park and the National Bison Range. In Montana’s Pioneer Naturalist, the first in-depth assessment of Elrod’s career, George M. Dennison reveals how one man helped to shape the scholarly study of nature and its institutionalization in the West at the turn of the century. Elrod moved to Missoula in 1897, just four years after the state university’s founding, and participated in virtually every aspect of university life for almost forty years. To reveal the depths of this pioneer scientist’s influence on the growth of his university, his state, and the academic fields he worked in, author George M. Dennison delves into state and university archives, including Elrod’s personal papers. Although Elrod was an active participant in bison conservation and the growth of the National Park Naturalist Service, much of his work focused on Flathead Lake, where he surveyed local life forms and initiated the university’s biological station—one of the first of its kind in the United States. Yet at heart Elrod was an educator who desired to foster in his students a “love of nature,” which, he said, “should give health to any one, and supply knowledge of greatest value, either to the individual or to society, or to both.” In this biography of a prominent scientist now almost forgotten, Dennison—longtime president of the University of Montana—demonstrates how Elrod’s scholarship and philosophy regarding science and nature made him one of Montana’s most distinguished naturalists, conservationists, and educators.

Download or read book Glacier National Park written by Tom Mulvaney and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pres. William Howard Taft signed the bill creating Glacier National Park in 1910, and a wilderness paradise in northwestern Montana was born. This book illustrates the park's evolution, from the Great Northern Railroad days, Native American presence, lodges, chalets, and camps, to majestic scenery and wildlife--all in vintage postcards. The opening of Glacier National Park coincided with the popularity of postcards across the nation, and hence this visual documentation of Glacier's many wonders is thorough and encompassing. With the celebration of its centennial in 2010, Glacier National Park continues to provide us with one of the last best places to visit.

Download or read book The WPA Guide to Montana written by Federal Writers' Project and published by Trinity University Press. This book was released on 2013-10-23 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the 1930s in the United States, the Works Progress Administration developed the Federal Writers’ Project to support writers and artists while making a national effort to document the country’s shared history and culture. The American Guide series consists of individual guides to each of the states. Little-known authors—many of whom would later become celebrated literary figures—were commissioned to write these important books. John Steinbeck, Saul Bellow, Zora Neale Hurston, and Ralph Ellison are among the more than 6,000 writers, editors, historians, and researchers who documented this celebration of local histories. Photographs, drawings, driving tours, detailed descriptions of towns, and rich cultural details exhibit each state’s unique flavor. Montana, one of the Great Plains states, is finely portrayed in its WPA guide. Originally published in 1939, the spirit of the Wild West shines throughout this guide to the Treasure State. During this time period, the population of Montana was rural and cities small, with most of the economy tied to the land, mining, or cattle. With 10 hiking trails outlined for Glacier National Park alone and 18 driving tours throughout the state, this book is an excellent resource for history and nature buffs alike.
