What is it about Yellowstone National Park that draws millions of
visitors from all over the world? If you’ve visited Yellowstone,
you should already know the answer. If you’ve never visited—or
you have, but still don’t know the answer—Michael Leach
explains it to you in his book of essays, Grizzlies on My Mind.
Leach is a Yellowstone insider with unmatched passion for
this nation’s first national park. At the age of twenty-two,
Leach’s dream of becoming a Yellowstone ranger came true. It
wasn’t long before he’d earned the nickname “Rev” for his
powerful Yellowstone “sermons.” In
Grizzlies on My Mind, Leach shares his love for Yellowstone—its
landscapes and wildlife, especially its iconic bison and
grizzlies—as he tells tales that will delight anyone interested
in the national park system, wildlife and wild landscapes, rivers
and adventure. Heartwarming and heartbreaking stories of human
lives lost, efforts to save a black bear cub, a famous wolf who
helped Leach through some dark personal days, the unique and
oftentimes humorous Yellowstone “culture,” backpacking trips
that nearly ended in disaster, and Leach’s spiritual journey with
his Assiniboine-Gros Ventre “brother” fill the pages—and the
reader’s heart. If you’ve never been charged by an elk,
traveled solo at dawn across Yellowstone’s frigid interior
(working your way slowly through a herd of peaceful bison in the
process), or lain awake in a backcountry tent, listening for the
spine-tingling breaths of a curious grizzly—but you crave such
experiences, Grizzlies on My Mind is the book for you.
