The book also provides valuable insight into the early history of the park, including the efforts to preserve and protect it. The Discovery of Yellowstone Park is a fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of the American West, conservation, or natural wonders.Along the trail, after leaving Fort Ellis, we found large quantities of the ""service"" berry, called by the Snake Indians ""Tee-amp."" Our ascent of the Belt range was somewhat irregular, leading us up several sharp acclivities, until we attained at the summit an elevation of nearly two thousand feet above the valley we had left. The scene from this point is excelled in grandeur only by extent and variety. An amphitheatre of mountains 200 miles in circumference, enclosing a valley nearly as large as the State of Rhode Island, with all its details of pinnacle, peak, dome, rock and river, is comprehended at a glance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
