Historian and Yellowstone researcher Scott Herring uses his long-running and eccentric knowledge of the park to describe Yellowstone oddities that rarely or never make it into books, such as hidden graves in the backcountry, archaeological discoveries that defy known history, weird hauntings that can’t be explained, and very strange qualities of the geysers that only a few people know. These surprising, outlandish, and sometimes eerie facts about Yellowstone cover both natural history and human history, and they are carefully researched, including interviews with park insiders. From bad behaving bears to bizarre landscapes, this book shows visitors hidden mysteries and strange surprises that lie behind the park’s famous scenery. Scott Herring is a writer and historian who teaches advanced writing to science students at the University of California, Davis. He received his Ph.D. there after a long sojourn working in Yellowstone National Park. He has edited and written several Yellowstone books, including Rough Trip Through Yellowstone and Yellowstone’s Lost Legend: Uncle Billy Hofer, Renaissance Man of the Early Park. He lives in California.
