Death In Yellowstone by Lee H. Whittlesey
Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park
An unflinching chronicle of fatal mishaps and close calls in Yellowstone National Park, blending historical records, investigative detail, and cautionary anecdotes to reveal how scalding hot springs, unpredictable wildlife, swift rivers, and rugged terrain—compounded by human error—have claimed lives. Through vivid case studies spanning more than a century, it dispels myths, examines rescue and management challenges, and underscores why rules, preparation, and respect for nature are essential in one of America’s wildest places.
