America set aside its grandest scenery, then had to learn how to truly see it. Robert Sterling Yard tours the national parks, teaching readers to appreciate their peaks, canyons, and wonders as both landscape and shared heritage. A stirring early guide from a founder of the park movement itself. Discover the crown jewels of a nation's wild country.
