In a book that is part memoir, part documentary and part fictional
narrative, Richard Bevis follows an assortment of teenage "savages"
as they descend on Yellowstone Park in 1957, looking for action
(and each other) while working at a variety of jobs. Blending
comedy and seriousness, *Dudes and Savages: The Resonance of
Yellowstone* moves from geology to romance, from history to
salesmanship, from mountain climbing to practical jokes on the
hapless "dudes." The book traces the well-intentioned but
blundering Mason Dixon from his setting off to his return home, and
in its final chapters considers the impact that Yellowstone had on
him and some other characters over the years. William Wordsworth
wrote, There are in our existence spots of time, That with distinct
pre-eminence retain A renovating virtue, whence... our minds Are
nourished and invisibly repaired.... Mason wonders if that summer
of 1957 among the bears and geysers could have been one of them.
