America's First Great National Park - The Birth of Yellowstone
On March 1, 1882 Ulysses S. Grant signed legislation creating Yellowstone and gave birth to the world's first national park system. George Black's marvelous "Empire of Shadows" is a captivating introduction to a cast of legendary Western characters from Lewis and Clark to Jim Bridger and those first to document the marvels of Yellowstone for the rest of America.
