1. George W. Wingate was a man in full for his time. With his Civil War compatriot Col. William C. Church, Wingate published the first manual on rifle marksmanship in 1870. The following year the pair established the National Rifle Association.

   In 1885, Wingate's concern for the health of his 17-year old daughter and his sense of adventure led him, his wife and their eldest daughter, May, to plan a horseback trip through Yellowstone National Park. Doctors believed the trip would improve May's health. It did.

   The Wingates rode 460 miles in just 26 days, returning to New York City bedazzled by the park and in fine spirits.

   Wingate's book, Through the Yellowstone Park on Horseback, provides a faithful and fascinating account of early tourist travel. The University of Idaho Press provides a service by republishing the book and reminding us of Yellowstone's marvelous history.

   Wingate was also a faithful observer. He provided fine sketches of Western culture, from an Army fort past its prime, to profiles of those he hired to guide his family through the park. Hunters and anglers will enjoy his accounts of adventures during the journey.

   The book offers a valuable perspective for those who have visited the park. It also may spur readers who love historical books to visit Yellowstone.

1. I recently checked out every guide book I could find on the subject of out of the way places in Wyoming. This one was without question the worst. It is a random collection of disorganized, unhelpful information. To see how a book with this title could have been done well, check out Scenic Driving Wyoming, by Laurence Parent
