"In July and August of 1885, George W. Wingate, a prominent and wealthy New Yorker, together with his wife and their seventeen-year-old daughter, May, took a horseback trip through Yellowstone Park. Wingate observed, "If I had gone to Africa instead of to the Yellowstone, I could scarcely have had more trouble in obtaining reliable information in regard to the journey," and so he wrote this book on his return in order to help others." "In this travel account, historians, scientists, and those who love Yellowstone Park will all find something of interest - from the lithographs of how the Park appeared at the time of the trip to instructions on how to sight a rifle correctly (Wingate was cofounder of the National Rifle Association and an expert on weapons and marksmanship), to what to take on such a journey (for both ladies and men), to the flora and fauna one might find."--BOOK JACKET.
