Death in Yellowstone: A Book Review
Death in Yellowstone was an amazing book! I am so excited to share this review with you — and some of my thoughts!
Throughout the history of the National Park, there have been countless accidents, deaths, a few murders, suicides, and so much more. When we view Yellowstone, we have a more romantic view of the park — one of wonder and raw beauty. Yellowstone contains all of that — and more. Now, I am going to begin with a warning — if you have a weak stomach, there are a few places in this book that can cause it to turn.
Now, onto the book!
Death in Yellowstone documents and discusses the many accidents and deaths that have occurred in the park. It also notes some that occurred just right outside the boundaries as well. Weather, fortunes, and so many other areas have affected incidents, and some just stop you cold. The cases that involve children are always the hardest for me. As a mother, those are hard to read. But there are many other cases, many other circumstances that are also discussed.
The author takes you on a journey, throughout the history of the park, showcasing and noting the different types of occurrences. The book breakdown also has the cases grouped together by type as much as possible.
