""Will C. De Man's deeply researched history of Yellowstone, Glacier, and Grand Teton National Parks deftly navigates the fraught origin stories of three of the United States' most iconic National Parks. De Man weaves together stories of erasure, controversy, and conservation triumph with prose that dives deep but remains accessible and digestible. With enough detail for even the most informed park fans to learn something new and the right context for those unfamiliar with our country's early conservation movement, De Man delivers another great read for anyone keen to learn more about these complicated, fraught, and uniquely American landscapes."" - Greg Peters, author of Our National Forests: Stories from America's Most Important Public Lands ""Will De Man's bite-sized history covering the origins of Glacier, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone National Parks is a must read for National Park lovers. Not only are these stories enlightening and highly accessible, they delicately weave together the various threads of history present at the dawn of some of our most iconic National Parks. From their near-mythological origins to their modern-day challenges, these stories shed light on the shared past of Glacier, Grand Teton, and Yellowstone, while reminding us that these histories are still inescapably linked with our current moment. Both newcomers and seasoned parks travelers alike can add depth and context to their travels with these ever-enjoyable short histories."" - Cameron Sabin, creator of ""National Park Diaries"" ""Told with a poet's soul and excellent detail, Creating the National Parks is for anyone who loves nature, history, and conservation. De Man goes to great lengths to unearth fascinating stories from some of our most beloved public lands: Yellowstone, Glacier, and Grand Teton. A must read for anyone who loves the outdoors and America's national parks."" - Emily Pennington, author of Feral: Losing Myself and Finding My Way in America's National Parks
