Contents: From the Preface:

The present edition of The Yellowstone embraces a thorough revision of the entire work. Part I. (historical) contains much new matter on the early history of the Park; additional information concerning its geographical names, and a new account of the Nez Perce campaign of 1877. Part II (descriptive) is greatly enlarged in the chapters on topography, geology, thermal springs, fauna and flora, roadways and administration; while the "Tour of the Park" has been entirely recast to conform to the completed road system which has opened up new sections of the Park. The illustrations are nearly all original. Especial pains has been taken to make them representative of the Park scenery as a whole, and not simply an album of conventional geyser and waterfall views.

Other maps are included as plates:

A few of the numerous "views". Note: Many of the photos look a little yellow. This is the fault of my camera and/or lighting. They are not actually this yellow.
