Creating the National Parks: Yellowstone, Glacier, and Grand Teton

The origin story of three iconic national parks, with direct relevance to the present struggle to keep public lands in public hands.
"Creating the National Parks is a book for the moment, when the forces that have always threatened our public lands are ascendant and the case for their protection has never been more urgent."
— Will and Jim Pattiz, More Than Just Parks
"These stories shed light on the shared past of Glacier, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone, while reminding us that these histories are still inescapably linked with our current moment."
— Cameron Sabin, creator of "National Park Diaries"
