Book Synopsis Night of the Grizzlies by : Jack Olsen
Download or read book Night of the Grizzlies written by Jack Olsen and published by Crime Rant Books. This book was released on 1969 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than half a century, grizzly bears roamed free in the national parks without causing a human fatality. Then in 1967, on a single August night, two campers were fatally mauled by enraged bears -- thus signaling the beginning of the end for America's greatest remaining land carnivore. Night of the Grizzlies, Olsen's brilliant account of another sad chapter in America's vanishing frontier, traces the causes of that tragic night: the rangers' careless disregard of established safety precautions and persistent warnings by seasoned campers that some of the bears were acting "funny"; the comforting belief that the great bears were not really dangerous -- would attack only when provoked. The popular sport that summer was to lure the bears with spotlights and leftover scraps -- in hopes of providing the tourists with a show, a close look at the great "teddy bears." Everyone came, some of the younger campers even making bold enough to sleep right in the path of the grizzlies' known route of arrival. This modern "bearbaiting" could have but one tragic result…
Book Synopsis Welcome to Sperry Chalet by : Beth Dunagan
Download or read book Welcome to Sperry Chalet written by Beth Dunagan and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-04-08 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beth Dunagan, a third-generation Montanan, grew up at Sperry Chalet, high in the back country of Glacier National Park. In this memoir, she tells her own story intertwined with that of her extended family, the Ludings. They began their stewardship of this unique landmark in 1954, when Beth was nine years old. With only brief intermissions, they has hardly ever left it. Her education at Sperry included learning to rappel down cliffs, collect insects in the crevasses of Sperry Glacier, shoe-ski down snow fields, slide down bear grass meadows, and free-climb to supposedly inaccessible heights. She and her cousins became experts on the geology, flora, and fauna of the Park before she entered high school. Loving all animals, she developed a special affinity for the mountain goats, especially a billy she and a friend named "Handsome." Since 1954, each generation has passed their love for Sperry to their children and grandchildren. Beth tells a heartwarming story of how she shares her eight-year-old grandson's joy at seeing a kid goat up close. Designed by an internationally known architect and constructed of locally quarried stone in 1914, the Chalet twice came close to abandonment and probable destruction. Twice the family saved it. To this day, they carefully guard its reputation for hospitality and spiritual peace. Sperry Chalet celebrates its 100th anniversary in the summer of 2014. Welcome to Sperry Chalet!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s national parks are breathing spaces in a world in which such spaces are steadily disappearing, which is why more than 300 million people visit the parks each year.

Book Synopsis Creating the National Park Service by : Horace M. Albright
Download or read book Creating the National Park Service written by Horace M. Albright and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two men played a crucial role in the creation and early history of the National Park Service: Stephen T. Mather, a public relations genius of sweeping vision, and Horace M. Albright, an able lawyer and administrator who helped transform that vision into reality. In Creating the National Park Service, Albright and his daughter, Marian Albright Schenck, reveal the previously untold story of the critical "missing years" in the history of the service. During this period, 1917 and 1918, Mather's problems with manic depression were kept hidden from public view, and Albright, his able and devoted assistant, served as acting director and assumed Mather's responsibilities. Albright played a decisive part in the passage of the National Park Service Organic Act of 1916; the formulation of principles and policies for management of the parks; the defense of the parks against exploitation by ranchers, lumber companies, and mining interests during World War I; and other issues crucial to the future of the fledgling park system. This authoritative behind-the-scenes history sheds light on the early days of the most popular of all federal agencies while painting a vivid picture of American life in the early twentieth century.

Book Synopsis Historic Glacier National Park by : Randi Minetor
Download or read book Historic Glacier National Park written by Randi Minetor and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2016-09-01 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historic Glacier National Park captures the most interesting moments in the park’s history, the slices of life in northwestern Montana that provide an idea of what life was like for those who chose to explore this gloriously beautiful snowy corner of the United States. There’s the presence of Native Americans in nearly every aspect of the park’s history, the significant influence of the Great Northern Railway as a leader as the park gained its footing, and people who made history in this astonishing Rocky Mountain landscape. Once Congress decided to make Glacier a national park, developers created hotels, chalets, campgrounds, residences, and the most spectacularly scenic road in the United States. Historic Glacier National Park provides just enough of this rich history to make the experience of visiting the park better than expected.
