This review is from: Petrified Forest National Park: A Wilderness Bound in Time (Paperback)
This book is a history of the Petrified Forest and how people have investigated it scientifically, and protected it as a National Monument and National Park. There is a VERY brief coverage of the Park area in Triassic times and how the trees came to be where they are, fairly detailed coverage of the history of the Monument and its interaction with the surrounding area and Route 66 up through World War II, and very condensed coverage of history from World War II onward. The Painted Desert region is mentioned only tangentially. If you're looking for a guidebook to the National Park, this isn't it. Other than historical background, there's no information useful for the visitor on the groun.
It is well-written, readable, and can be read in a couple of hours. Nice background for a visit to the park. |
