Book: Reflections from Yellowstone & Beyond

If you spend 43 years in any one place, you’re going to know it pretty well. And that’s how long Orville Bach has been a seasonal ranger in Yellowstone National Park. In Reflections from Yellowstone & Beyond (Morris Publishing, $17), Bach shares his insider’s knowledge of the Park—its thermal features, majestic wildlife, and wild places—in short personal essays. The essays are accompanied by ink illustrations that add depth to already insightful reflections on a life well-lived. Reflections adds to the impressive canon of literature about the Park, providing another chapter in the story about one of America’s most-loved places.
