Our first national park was created during a scandalous period of American history─Mark Twain’s “Gilded Age,” when money led to power and power led to reputation. The park was a result not from chance nor popular demand but from (1) a blend of the interests and energy of five energetic men on their way to greatness, (2) an increasingly intensive exploration of the mysterious "Upper Yellowstone," and (3) an attempt to finance a $100 million-dollar railroad. The book examines the lives of the five who explored and helped create the park─a geologist, a photographer, an artist, a banker, and a frontiersman. Thanks to their joint effort, America no longer needed to look to Europe for standards of beauty and grandeur. As of 1872, America had its own national icon─the Yellowstone.
