Included in this lot is a First Edition of “With God in the Yellowstone” by Alma White, 1920. The author embarks on a spiritual and physical journey through the majestic landscapes of Yellowstone National Park. Excerpt: "In this volume, I have attempted not simply to give a brief account of a recent trip to Yellowstone National Park and to describe some of Nature's grandeurs, but to elucidate spiritual truths that were demonstrated in this place of many "wonders" in a thousand miracles before my eyes. There is no more poetical, picturesque, and fascinating spot on the globe, and no other place where magnificence and sublimity blend so harmoniously with the softest tints and colorings as in the Yellowstone region." Alma White first came to Montana in 1882 to teach in Bannack, Montana's first territorial capital. Years later after returning to her native New Jersey, White returned to the West in 1919 and made her first trip to Yellowstone National Park. This red cloth bound gold gilt stamped hardcover is in nice condition, scuffing and staining noted to cover, loose but attched spine. Front and rear endpapers feature notary public seal stamps. Intact pages exhibit age tanning and slight foxing. Title page has ink soiling. Measures 5"W x 7.5"L x .5"D.
