Along with its sister park, Waterton Lakes National Park, in Alberta, Canada, Glacier National Park is recognized as a World Heritage Site (1995) and a Biosphere Reserve (1976). It was established as the world’s first International Peace Park in 1932. Stars over Montana is a reissue of the classic history of Glacier National Park through biographies of its key founders and early explorers. The stories of exploration and discovery live again through Warren L. Hanna’s outstanding research. The writing is delightful and accompanied by 15 black-and-white archival photographs.
