Diary of a 1908 Wagon Journey to Yellowstone: And Life in Rural Wyoming

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (14208 ratings)

Description:This diary was written in two equally important and interesting parts. The diarist is Charles Hoff, a veteran of the American Civil War who is in his mid-60s at the time of the diary. Part 1: Life in Rural Wyoming in the Summer of 1907 The first part of this diary takes place in 1907 and details the diarist’s life near Boulder, Wyoming. It is a largely rural area and the diarist’s activities reflect that. The diarist shares plenty of opinions on the sometimes strange happening in the town, as well as describing his daily life and activities. There is some modern excitement to be had. On July 29, the first automobile ever to show up in town arrives. Then, on August 9, another. On August 11, our diarist writes “Another automobile came in today. Getting to be a common thing.” Soon after: “He took the citizens of the place for a ride, four at a time. I was included. It was a grand day for the people.” Part 2: Wagon Journey to Yellowstone National Park in the Summer of 1908 In the second part of the diary, the diarist embarks on a wagon journey to Yellowstone National Park with some friends. On the way, they see amazing animals and scenery and natural phenomena, have a few crazy experiences, meet a cowboy, and deal with the logistical problems of a road trip. The diarist tells us all about road food. Who knew you can cook gooseberries and black currants on the road? Upon arriving in Yellowstone, it is quickly apparent that a tour of 1908 Yellowstone was different than it is today. On the way in, they had to register with the soldiers and get their guns plugged so they couldn’t hunt (and get their guns unplugged by soldiers on the way out). The diarist vividly documents the extensive tour of Yellowstone Park. You can look at a Yellowstone map from today while reading this diary and follow their progress. He mentions every river, every place of note, and every attraction - giving detailed accounts of the entire adventurous tour.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
