Famed for its awe-inspiring scenery and wildlife, Glacier National Park holds countless stories beyond the view from the trail. In A Glacier Gallery, Glacier experts Ray Djuff, Bill Lundgren, and Scott Tanner uncover the park’s lesser-known side through 66 lively essays filled with hidden history, curious legends, colorful personalities, and fascinating moments from Glacier’s past. As part of the museum’s mission to preserve the artistic legacy of Montana and Glacier National Park, this book connects true stories of the Park with important historic visual primary resources found in museums and collections. Readers will discover the supposed secret to catching big fish in Glacier, the mystery behind a lonely gravesite near the Altyn ghost town, how crews battle the massive Big Drift along the Going-to-the-Sun Road each spring, and much more. Richly illustrated with 218 rare photographs and illustrations, this highly browsable, full-color 152-page collection invites readers to experience Glacier in a whole new way.
