Author Reading: Janet Chapple

Author and member-owner Janet Chapple will give a presentation about her Yellowstone books, especially focusing on Through Early Yellowstone: Adventuring by Bicycle, Covered Wagon, Foot, Horseback, and Skis, and its rare watercolors by Thomas H. Thomas. She will also talk about the updated fifth edition of her popular and award-winning guidebook, Yellowstone Treasures. Come meet her and have your book signed!

A Billings native, Janet's association with Yellowstone goes back to early childhood days when her parents worked in the Old Faithful Inn. Her love of Yellowstone Park can be traced to memories of waiting for geysers to erupt, visiting with rangers, attending slide shows and sing-alongs in the amphitheater, playing hide-and-seek in the inn, and watching as her father assigned passengers to the big yellow tour buses. Her husband, Bruno Giletti, Professor Emeritus of Geological Sciences at Brown University, contributed the geological history chapter to Yellowstone Treasures and wrote many of the geological sidebars that appear throughout the book.
