Wrecked in Yellowstone by Mike Stark

As soon as Yellowstone was made a national park, there were people anxious to make money off of it. E.C. Waters is generally known as being the most tenacious. He leaped on the chance to run hotels in the park before landing in a scheme to ferry visitors from West Thumb to the Lake Hotel. In between, he was fined and expelled from the park any number of times for trapping/poisoning animals, soaping geysers, and running any number of other schemes.
Definitely needed some editing but I enjoyed many turns of phrase that the author used.

Yellowstone Country by David Skernick

A book full of beautiful pictures from Wyoming, Idaho and Montana. The term "Yellowstone Country" is a bit of a stretch since many of the pictures come from way, way outside the Greater Yellowstone Area (yes, this is a defined area). I would suggest getting this book in print as it did not seem as impressive on an e-reader.
