Since 2016 is the 100th anniversary of the National Park Service, I thought it was very appropriate to have a book like this with great stories written by the hard working people who work for the parks.

Such a fantastic look into the lives of those who serve our nation in the park system. I loved the variety of stories and authors. It really made me want to explore more of the parks and monuments I hadn't heard of before. Fantastic. Read!

I LOVED this book. I'm a huge National Parks nerd, which helps, but I truly think this is a book for everyone. Pegged to NPS centennial, this is an anthology of curated stories from people who visited, lived in and worked for the national parks written across all decades. of the parks' history. I love that it was a blind selection process and that there were stories from writers and regular people, most of whom I want to know more about. The Parks, of course, also played vital roles in the stories. National PArks bucket list just got longer.

Personal stories of actual rangers, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the park service. Very interesting and heart- warming to hear from rangers who love their work, helping people, and love of nature. Personal experiences with animals, people, and life experiences that led them to the career. One story is of the Horse Cavalry, which our friend has worked for 50 years. Gives insight into the world of nature to we city dwellers.
