| Summary | "Your National Parks" by Enos A. Mills is a guidebook detailing the beauty and significance of America's national parks, crafted in the early 20th century. This book aims to celebrate and inform readers about the natural wonders preserved in these parks, highlighting their historical creation and environmental value. The narrative emphasizes the importance of these protected areas and encourages appreciation and exploration of their unique ecosystems. At the start of the book, the author recounts the momentous discussion among early explorers around a campfire in 1870, which catalyzed the idea of establishing Yellowstone as the first national park. He introduces pivotal figures like John Colter, the first to discover the region, and details the early expeditions that contributed to the park's recognition. The opening also reflects on the diverse landscapes and geological wonders found in Yellowstone, setting the stage for a vibrant exploration of national parks as places of both historical significance and natural beauty.
