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.

Not as brief as some reviews suggest
Revisado: 04-18-22
I was a bit concerned when reading some other reviews that this would be three sentences a story, but that is not true at all. If you've read any other books about deaths in national parks, this is completely consistent with that. It's a very good reading, good storytelling and detail. Eventually I do get tired of hearing how every person is the world's best mountain climber in the world, or best backpacker in history, or a place is the hardest terrain, or deepest cave (when everything described is the MOST something, it completely loses meaning).
The narration is good and the book is long. I recommend!
