    About this ebook

    Our first national park was created during a scandalous period of American history─Mark Twain’s “Gilded Age,” when money led to power and power led to reputation. The park was a result not from chance nor popular demand but from (1) a blend of the interests and energy of five energetic men on their way to greatness, (2) an increasingly intensive exploration of the mysterious "Upper Yellowstone," and (3) an attempt to finance a $100 million-dollar railroad. The book examines the lives of the five who explored and helped create the park─a geologist, a photographer, an artist, a banker, and a frontiersman. Thanks to their joint effort, America no longer needed to look to Europe for standards of beauty and grandeur. As of 1872, America had its own national icon─the Yellowstone.

    David M. Delo

    Bio of author David M. Delo I’ve never been great at anything, but I have been around and have had as many failures as I have successes. After college, I was a C.I. agent for NATO (US Army) in Europe. Back in the USA, I became an educational administrator for the American Geological Institute, in Washington, D.C.; a systems analyst and V. P. at Levi Strauss & Co. in San Francisco; owner of a guest ranch in Wyoming; a P. R. writer for a university library in Illinois and grants writer for a not-for-profit organization in Montana; owner of a publishing company (Kingfisher Creations) through which I authored 10 books; and a semi-professional photographer for half a century. I have also been an artist since 1993 and I have been bipolar II since the mid-1960s. I guess you could say I have had a colorful life. Since the turn of the century, I have resided within the world of creativity. My books (and paintings) are my children and my heritage. My action-mysteries are based on my years in Europe. My historical novels are all based on places to which I have ventured, and I still love my protagonists with whom I identify–a geologist, an artist, a photographer, and an intrepid explorer of the west.
