This book kept my interest from cover to cover. Perhaps living close to Yellowstone Park had an influence. I was familiar with George Bird Grinnell but not this aspect of his life. It appears the government has not changed much in 120 years, that was dissappointing. Michael Punke did a lot of homework and presented the story in a way that was informative and yet kept your interest. It was a sad chapter in our development as a nation and we came so close to losing a national treasure.
