About this ebook

Yellowstone is America's premier national park. Today is often a byword for conservation, natural beauty, and a way for everyone to enjoy the great outdoors. But it was not always this way. Wonderlandscape presents a new perspective on Yellowstone, the emotions various natural wonders and attractions evoke, and how this explains the park's relationship to America as a whole.Whether it is artists or naturalists, entrepreneurs or pop-culture icons, each character in the story of Yellowstone ends up reflecting and redefining the park for the values of its era. For example, when Ernest Thompson Seton wanted to observe bears in 1897, his adventures highlighted the way the park transformed from a set of geological oddities to a wildlife sanctuary, reflecting a nation was concerned about disappearing populations of bison and other species. Subsequent eras added Rooseveltian masculinity, ecosystem science, and artistic inspiration as core Yellowstone hallmarks.As the National Park system enters its second century, Wonderlandscape allows us to reflect on the values and heritage that Yellowstone alone has come to represent—how it will shape the America's relationship with her land for generations to come.

Having qualified at Oxford University as a local historian I proceeded to study as a landscape archaeologist. I have written a number of books (including a novel)covering aspects of the history of my district - namely the East Lancashire Forest of Pendle. I am a leading authority on the subject of the Lancashire Witches of 1612 and 1634 and have puplished three books relating to these nfamous witch trials. In 2011 I acted as historical advisor to Wingspan Productions on their 2011 BBC4 film The Pendle Witch Child. I have also helped on other BBC television productions and have broadcast on BBC radio.

    Clayton covers the natural, administrative and political history of America's first national park in a fine read. One chapter is dedicated to Ansel Adams who captured the park's beauty in his black and white photos, even though he preferred Yosemite National Park over Yellowstone. Another chapter covers the huge wildfires of 1988 and how what seemed so unusual at the time is now commonplace in the forested western United States. He points out the fallacy of early park supporters trying to portray the park as empty and rarely visited by Indians -- thus, no big deal making it off limits to everyone but visitors. We now know that assertion to be untrue, and the creation of the park displaced use of the area by several tribes.
