John Clayton
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.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Clayton 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.
