They gathered the best materials from public libraries, historical societies, arts and cultural organizations, museums, research centers, and national park archives. Park rangers, historians, artists, curators, educators, and local residents all offered guidance and suggestions. The goal was to discover entertaining, diverse, and engaging writings that reflect each parks essenceas well as just fun to share.Each story includes an About this Story reflection, offering insight into how Dave and Ilyssa discovered the tale, why they selected it, and some background about its writer.
