This book is really interesting with a lot of the history of deaths in and around Yellowstone. I think it could have been a quicker read if he hadn't included quite so much stuff that was so long ago and occurred outside the park. If someone was murdered a few miles outside of the park in 1860 it is not very relevant to me going to visit the park today. I like to read these so I know what to look out for if I go to the park today. It has added to my interest in the park which I know I need to go to.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Follow the rules and you'll probably be okayBy Heather E. HejdukCovering over 300 deaths since the 1800s; Death in Yellowstone ranges from drownings to bear maulings to burns in hot springs to murders to Native American attacks to poisonous plants to carbon monoxide to runaway coaches. Sometimes it’ll jump 100 years and then go back. Sometimes the information about what happened is sparse and sometimes it’s well documented. All of it adds up to one simple warning: Follow the rules and you will probably stay safe in that particular National Park. Climb over a barrier or try to take a picture with a bear and you may not come out alive.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Unbelievable what has happened in Yellowstone!By G.
