This was the second time I read this book, for a discussion group session this time. I enjoyed it even more this time. The characters are an interesting, diverse group--professor, Crow Indian, mountain man, park ranger, rancher, woman naturalist, and a talking raven! The setting is wonderful--near turn of the 20th century Yellowstone--then called the Nation's Park because it was the only one. I particularly liked how the evolving nature of natural history study and collecting was told in an interesting, easy to read story format. And there are delightful, funny moments, too. I liked this book so much I'm planning to read her next one.
