First published in 1998, this perennial best seller distills more than 400 exciting tales of heroism from the 150,000 search-and-rescue missions carried out by the National Park Service since Yellowstone was established as the first national park in 1872. Updated to include the most notable incidents through 2004 (including the Park Service's efforts to protect the nation's treasures following 9/11), the new edition features recent rescues and rescue attempts from the icy slopes of Mt. Rainer to the seas off of Acadia National Park.

Lazy narrator
Revisado: 04-18-22
I read the book when it first came out and I knew what to expect as far as material and style of writing. Many of the more recent searches that were included in the revised edition happened during my NPS career, so it took me back to events and people that I hadn’t thought of in years. (A few searches that I had expected to be included were not, but there is so much material I can understand why they didn’t make the cut.). Between that and being a search and rescue geek in general, I enjoyed the book. What made me crazy was the narration! I can understand not being able to pronounce certain Ranger’s names or more obscure areas within the parks, but mispronouncing park names is shear laziness on the part of the narrator. It doesn’t take a lot of research to learn how to pronounce them correctly. Then, Secretary Hodel’s name was pronounced incorrectly the first few times and later in the book it was correct. Again, seems like laziness to not make it right. Maybe I’m being overly picky, but the parks and this topic were my life. So thankful for the dedicated men and women who are still on the job. Keep up the good work!
