One hundred years ago this August the National Park Service was born. Since then, tens of thousands of NPS employees and volunteers have devoted themselves to preserving our public lands, which today number more than 400 nationwide. Each person’s NPS career is unique, seasoned with daily duties, grand adventures, and everything in between! Yet there is one common element among those who serve in the National Park Service: each person hasplenty of material for terrific stories about living and working in America’s most special places.
These 100 true stories from current and past NPS employees and volunteers across the nation make for an engrossing, funny, and often moving read, with something for everyone. A ranger leads a life-or-death rescue in the Grand Canyon. A Make-a-Wish child is a paleontologist for the day near Dinosaur National Monument. Inner-city youth marvel at the stars above Zion. A three-time Iraq War veteran shares how the national parks saved his life. The writers in this collection welcome visitors, ride the rails, collar caribou, reenact and make history, and every day face the mystery of wildness—including plenty of bears!—all for America’s public lands.
In this centennial year, the National Park Service is encouraging people to get outside and find their park. Featuring stories from 80 different national parks, monuments, and historic sites, stretching from the coast of Maine to American Samoa,The Wonder of It All is sure to inspire a new generation to cherish the natural and cultural resources that the National Park Service was born to preserve.
