Summary of lee h. whittlesey's death in yellowstone

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 In July 1981, David Allen Kirwan, 24, of La Canada, California, and his friend Ronald Ratliff, 25, of Thousand Oaks, parked their truck at Yellowstone's Fountain Paint Pot parking lot. While they looked at the hot springs, Ratliff's dog Moosie escaped and jumped into nearby Celestine Pool. Kirwan went into the pool to save the dog. #2 The idea of being boiled to death in a hot spring is a truly terrifying one for any rational person. However, this has happened more frequently in Yellowstone National Park than it has with grizzly bears. #3 The number of tourists in Yellowstone Park increased as it became more accessible, and so did the chances of visitor injury. In 1882, a traveler named Walter Watson fell into a long and deep geyser tube, while accompanied by three other men, who gave him up for dead and left. #4 In the 1880s, hot-spring injuries began to occur in greater numbers as visitors to Yellowstone increased. A Mr. Crossman was scalded in the Fountain Paintpot in 1884, a young boy in the same summer who convalesced at Marshall's Hotel, and another man in the Artists' Paintpots in 1888.
