THE BOOK OF NATIONAL PARKS
by Robert Sterling Yard
Head of the Education
National Parks Service
Department of the Interior

The Book of National Parks iPhone App has been created from the original 400+ page book of one of the best surveys of American National Parks undertaken.

Originally written in 1919, it was a landmark collection of information that formed legislation and governing rules that shaped what is now our National Parks Service.

See original photos of how our National Parks looked in the early 1900's and compare how they have changed today. Including a rare image of President Theodore Roosevelt and company, on horseback field trip in the Monument Valley.

Topics include:
• Yosemite, the Incomparable
• The Heart of the Rockies
• The Grand Canyon and our National Monuments
• Three Monsters of Hawaii
• Economic Value of our Natural Wonders
• McKinley, Giant of Giants
• Lafayette and the East
• Mount Rainer, Icy Octopus
• Yellowstone, the Volcanic Interlude
• Rock Records of a Vanished Race
• The Healing Waters
• The Rainbow of the Desert
• Historic Monuments of the Southwest
• Desert Spectacles
• National Monuments
• Official 1919 era Maps of Major USA National Parks
and much more
