""The Top of the Continent: The Story of a Cheerful Journey Through Our National Parks"" is a travelogue written by Robert Sterling Yard and published in 1917. The book details Yard's journey through various national parks in the United States, including Yellowstone, Glacier, and Mount Rainier. Yard's writing style is light-hearted and humorous, making the book an enjoyable read. He provides vivid descriptions of the natural beauty he encounters, as well as interesting anecdotes about the people he meets and the experiences he has along the way. ""The Top of the Continent"" also serves as an important historical document, as it was written during a time when many of the national parks were still relatively unknown and undeveloped. Yard's descriptions of the parks and their surroundings provide a glimpse into what they were like over a century ago. Overall, ""The Top of the Continent"" is a charming and informative book that will appeal to anyone interested in travel, nature, or American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
