Review # 1 was written on 2013-07-08 00:00:00 Ryan Tremblay Interesting short book on Powell and his relation to environmentalism. I need to read more about him, but I could not get into the Stegner book.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-06-15 00:00:00 Janet Torge My sister and I are going on a Road Scholar trip to Jackson Hole and Yellowstone. This book was recommended by Road Scholar. It was written by both Margaret and Olaus - each write complete chapters. It's not so much about the wapiti as it is about life in Jackson over the years. I am not a hunter so did not enjoy reading some of Olauss chapters that included some gory details. Overall I enjoyed Margaret's chapters that tended to focus more on everyday life. Olaus's illustrations are lovely and the few photos included were helpful for understanding the culture.
