Learn moreFirst published in 1998, this perennial bestseller distills over 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.
Charles R. "Butch" Farabee, Jr., earned his MS from the FBI Academy and during thirty-four years with the National Park Service rose from protection ranger to superintendent. He has responded to over 1,000 search and rescue missions and has managed these departments in Yosemite and Grand Canyon. Butch is the author of Death, Daring, and Disaster: Search and Rescue in the National Parks and Ranger: An American Icon.
