Myths and Legends of Yellowstone by Ednor Therriault
True Tales from the world's first national park--from rumors of ghosts in the iconic Old Faithful Inn to tales of Bigfoot sightings Yellowstone National Park is famous for its steaming geysers, bubbling mud pots, and wildlife-caused traffic jams, but few people may know about the many Native American tribes that visited the area long before John Colter discovered it, how one man nearly decimated the park's bison population, or the strange music that emanates from Yellowstone Lake. Myths and Legends of Yellowstone goes behind the scenes to tell these stories and many more, in short episodes that reveal the intriguing people and events that have shaped America's Wonderland. -Discover how one of the oddest loopholes in federal legislation could potentially allow a person to literally get away with murder in one remote corner of Yellowstone. -Relive the grueling trek made by George Cowan, who spent four days dragging his broken body through the park after being shot and stoned by hostile Nez Perce, and then left for dead by his fellow captives. -Read about dangerous amusements once practiced by Yellowstone's visitors and even park rangers--from feeding bears to soaping geysers--that are now considered destructive, illegal, and potentially life-threatening. -Discover why a unique resource from one mountain in Yellowstone has been found throughout the U.S. and Canada and used by Native Americans for centuries. Ednor Therriault's Montana roots run deep: his great-great-grandparents homesteaded on Douglas Creek in the late 1800s. Therriault also has written Montana Curiosities and Montana Off the Beaten Path for Globe Pequot. He and his wife live in Missoula, Montana.
