This work covers the dynamic era of the Lower Geyser Basin in Yellowstone National Park, which was full of both crude and majestic hotels, tales of mystery and adventure, along with its own unique natural wonders. In 1882, park Superintendent Patrick Conger stood in a small hollow in the Lower Geyser Basin, and dubbed it a place where "every tourist who visits the Park is certain to come." Once bustling with stagecoaches, hotels, and swarms of expectant visitors, proof of the basin's heyday now lies out-of-sight in buried trash dumps and crumbling stone foundations. Researcher Tina Schlaile explores this region's lesser-known era of forgotten tales, daring entrepreneurs, and amazing wonders to provide Yellowstone enthusiasts with an engaging account of this intriguing region.
