Hiking and outdoor authority and Glacier National Park aficionado Bill Schneider has given us three books in one: an amazing pictorial guide packed with sensational photography, a fact-filled travelogue exhibiting the true beauty of a rugged landscape and resourceful inhabitants, and a touching memoir of a man's history with a place and his desire to pass its wonders on to future generations. The Crown of the Continent is here in all its glory. From the "three G's"grizzlies, goats, and glaciersto the seemingly endless variety of plants, animals, and minerals, visitors will be seduced and their souls will be stirred by the majesty on display in what John Muir called "the best care-killing scenery on the continent."
