About this title

Synopsis

Trailblazers of the Wild North: Meet the Men Who Protected a Frontier

Step into the untamed wilderness of early 20th-century Montana with First Rangers. This gripping historical account follows the remarkable true stories of the first forest rangers assigned to patrol what would become Glacier National Park—men who risked everything to protect America's last wild places.

Experience life on the trail through letters, diary entries, and reports written in real time by the rangers themselves.
Track their battles against wildfires, poachers, timber thieves, and the elements.
Discover how these men helped shape the ethos of modern land stewardship.
Authored by C.W. Guthrie, a renowned Glacier National Park historian and storyteller.
Perfect for history buffs, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the untold stories of America's first forest guardians.

"Sure to delight, and perhaps even shock, the modern-day reader . . . . And if you've never wrassled a mountain goat, well, read on, and you'll be sure to find out what happens if you try!"
—Chris Peterson, Editor, Hungry Horse News

A must-read for fans of wilderness adventure, American history, and the untold stories of those who fought to preserve the wild before it was protected.
