The ecologic history of trout in Yellowstone, from the natural colonization that began after the last ice age through the intense fish stocking done by park managers for decades starting in the late 1800s. This book gives the most thorough explanation yet of one of the park's greatest environmental catastrophes, the decimation of native cutthroats in Yellowstone Lake due to illegally stocked, non-native lake trout, whirling disease and drought. There are also new details about the restoration of native Westslope cutthroat fisheries in Yellowstone.Â

New anecdotes about other park wildlife, including grizzlies, elk, wolves, moose, eagles, cougars, osprey, otters, rattlesnakes andÂ bisonÂ -- even bigfoot.

Unpublished details about perhaps the greatest human drama in Yellowstone history; an incredible 1877 encounter between a pair of early park tourists -- one of them a man who was shot three times and lived -- and a band of fleeing Nez Perce Indians, including revered peacemaker Chief Joseph.Â
