About The Book

T ( [link removed] ) he Father of Glacier National Park
( [link removed] )
is a compilation of previously unpublished writings of George
Bird Grinnell, compiled by his cousin Hugh Grinnell. George Bird
Grinnell was a prolific writer and record-keeper. After a long
day’s hunt or exploration, he diligently made time in camp for
meticulous journal entries. With his small group of explorers, he
discovered and named forty geological features east of the
Continental Divide and west of the Blackfeet Reservation. As a
result, he wrote a series of articles about his trips from 1885
to 1898 for publication in Forest and Stream. In 1891, he began
advocating to protect the area as a national park and led that
charge for nearly two decades until successful. His discoveries,
publications and leadership led to the creation of Glacier
National Park. Cousin Hugh Grinnell compiles first-person
narratives from unpublished journal entries, personal
correspondence and dozens of articles to tell the early story of
Glacier.
