As our society becomes ever "safer" and more sanitized, people will naturally have a harder time understanding - or even believing - that wild places such as Yellowstone still exist in the world. They assume that if there is a road - it will have guardrails. If there is a trail - it will have railings and will not approach dangerous cliffs. If there is an animal walking through a parking lot - that it is a "tame pet" brought there to create a sense of wonder and entertainment. They live in a strange world of disbelief and naivety. They see bottomless pits of boiling spring water... and wonder "how hot is it really?" They see a bison laying in a field... and think "what a great selfie this would be." They look over the edge of the Lower Falls and think "I bet I could stand on the edge and get an even better view." And they die.This book chronicles the numerous and unique ways people have died (and continue to die) in Yellowstone. Some are freak accidents, but all too often the deaths are the result of extremely poor decisions on the part of visitors - a combination of ignorance and hubris that have cost people their lives. Having just visited Yellowstone in the last week, I personally observed behavior on the part of visitors that had, in the past, killed people. The visitors had no clue.Some common criticisms of this book is that it felt (to some people) a little dry. I did not find it so, but I also understand that the subject matter is a sensitive one. This is not written like an Internet list of "Darwin awards" (though it could be), but the stories are treated with respect and as serious history. They are thoroughly researched, and in cases where there are conflicting points of view, the different views are presented to give as complete and accurate coverage as possible.I did not find the book depressing, but it did give me a different perspective on the park. I believe it also made me a better park visitor by removing the false sense of security that comes from crowds of people, parking lots, and railings. It is only too easy to develop a crowd mentality when you are surrounded by other people, and not be aware of your surroundings, responsible for watching your children closely, or approaching too closely to wildlife or natural features - just because you see others doing so. Yellowstone is wild and is kept intentionally so. Read this book, and you will have a better appreciation for just how "wild" it can be. Doing so will make you a better visitor, and will increase your level of respect for the park and its attractions. My opinion of Yellowstone has improved because of it.
Informative, entertaining, and exhaustively researched. The author handles an important but often delicate subject with both frankness and empathy. If you are looking for something with a point-and-laugh, Darwin Awards type of attitude towards the ways people can get themselves killed in the park, then look elsewhere. That's not this book. Whittlesey does not hesitate to be brutally honest in explaining how someone's lack of planning or poor decision making became fatal, but he never ridicules the unfortunate. After all, this book is meant to be instructive and help readers avoid the fates that befell those whose stories it recounts. This is not, however, some kind of survival instruction book. There are no secret tips or techniques; the advice is generally what one would consider common sense. But the stories of the real life tragedies in this book are useful because they make the reader aware of and remember the inherent dangers of a true wilderness. They are important not because the lessons are hard to learn, but because they are easy to forget, especially when one's attention is captivated by the beauty of the park.It's not all blood and gore, either. The reader picks up a good deal of fascinating history about the park and its neighboring towns along the way. It's a worthwhile read for someone planning a trip to the park or anyone with an interest in the history of Yellowstone.And for the love of all that is good and holy, stay on the marked paths and walkways and take small children by the hand in geothermal areas.
This was certainly the most painstakingly, well-researched book I've read. It was at times a bit boring, but the stories were fascinating. We have been traveling almost yearly to Yellowstone for over 40 years. It never grows old. I remember when my father and mother took my sister and I there. That was in the late 50's when the black bears crowded every stop. At Tower Falls I needed to use the restroom. My mother was freaking out and didn't want me to get out of the car. That's the only "stupid" thing I ever did at Yellowstone. The bears didn't pay any attention to me as I had no food as others did, but as exciting and cool as it was to walk amidst the bears, it was totally understandable that it was finally stopped. Since then in all those years, we've seen maybe a dozen bears at a distance. Sad, but safe. Buffalo, on the other hand, are always "right in your face" more or less. My husband and son (12 at the time) ended up caught in the middle of a herd crossing the highway. They were on a Honda Goldwing motorcycle. Needlesstosay, they held their breath, sat still, and prayed. LOL My children also grew up knowing the dangers of animals, hot pots, cliffs, rivers, etc. They were never allowed out of sight and held hands. Our youngest was on a leash! Excellent book. I think everyone going to Yellowstone should be required to read it and take heed.
I vacationed in Yellowstone in 2013 and saw the original of this book in one of the visitor center gift shops. Sounds a bit macabre, but the book still grabbed my attention. I highly appreciated Whittlesey's use of newspaper accounts to tell many of the stories. It is depressing to know there are some people who will probably never be found who were last seen in the park. The stories about Yellowstone Lake were the toughest on me knowing how the water can act during storms, let alone the massive size and depth of the lake. Yellowstone is one of the most fascinating places in the world but the place still shows how people can make poor decisions or have good intentions go bad. People will be people, no matter where they are. I also respected how Whittlesey defended the park as there have been suggestions to increase safety to those who visit the park. When I was there, I thought the warning signs were obvious, easy to understand and plenty of them. Having even more warning signs or safety measures would easily ruin the park's wilderness atmosphere. This is a good historical account.
