Survival story of Everts trek through Yellowstone. Full of such vivid detail from the land to the animals.
sonal harm, and, with the promise of reward, would probably minister to my wants and aid my deliverance. Imagine my delight, while gazing upon the animated expanse of water, at seeing sail out from a distant point a large canoe containing a single oarsman. It was rapidly approaching the shore where I was seated. With hurried steps I paced the beach to meet it, all my energies stimulated by the assurance it gave of food, safety and restoration to friends. As I drew near to it it turned towards the shore, and oh! bitter disappointment, the object which my eager fancy had transformed into an angel of relief stalked from the water, an enormous pelican, flapped its dragon-wings, as if in mockery of my sorrow, and flew to a solitary point farther up the lake. This little incident quite unmanned me. The transition from joy to grief brought with it a terrible consciousness of the horrors of my condition. But night was fast approaching, and darkness would come with it. While looking for a spot where I might repose in safety, my attention was attracted to a small green plant of so lively a hue as to form a striking contrast with deep pine foliage. For closer examination I pulled it up by the root, which was long and tapering, not unlike a radish. It was a thistle. I tasted it; it was palatable and nutritious. My appetite craved it, and the first meal in four days was made on thistle-roots. Eureka! I had found food. No optical illusion deceived me this time; I could subsist until I rejoined my companions. Glorious counterpoise to the wretchedness of the preceding half-hour!

Overjoyed at this discovery, with hunger allayed, I stretched myself under a tree, upon the foliage which had partially filled a space between contiguous trunks, and fell asleep.

Thistle Root for Food, Yuck!

This true story illustrates the deceptively beautiful dangers of Yellowstone back when Everts was lost in what is now the park we know and love. Reading the Audible version as we drove out of Mammoth Hot Springs was awesome and the forward and afterward were wonderful additions to the story Everts w

This story should not be lost to the ages. It's an amazing story of what the human body can endure when a person's mindset is positive. Everts was an inexperienced, near-sighted, "wannabe" mountaineer. He had no business being on an expedition team and yet, he found himself separated from his group.

I read this story aloud to my kids years ago when we were camping and we still talk about this incredible true story every time we visit the park. I decided to read it again- anyone interested in the history of Yellowstone will like this true story of survival as written and published in the newspap
