Book Breaks with Randall K. Wilson on A Place Called Yellowstone: The Epic History of the World’s First National Park

 

Date & Time: January 25, 2026, 02:00 PM in Eastern Time (US and Canada)

A Place Called Yellowstone

Yellowstone is a national icon, capable of bridging ideological divides in the United States. Yet the park’s history is also filled with episodes of conflict and exclusion, setting precedents for Native American land dispossession, land rights disputes, and prolonged tensions between commercialism and environmental conservation. A Place Called Yellowstone tells the comprehensive story of Yellowstone National Park as the story of the nation itself.
