From sweeping overlooks to hot springs and waterfalls to historic hotels and cabins, the park is full of beautiful places that would inspire passion in even the coldest heart.<\/p>\n<p>So it should come as no surprise that Yellowstone has been a popular place not only for marriage proposals and weddings, but also for many fictional romance tales, ranging from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Yellowstone-Romance-Book-Bundle-Books-ebook\/dp\/B00ALH5UUM\/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1423606246&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=yellowstone+romance\" target=\"_blank\">a contemporary series of popular stories<\/a> to a florid yarn published more than a century ago.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, there have been at least three or four series of Yellowstone romance novels published over the years, along with many standalone stories, said Jessica Gerdes, a librarian at the<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yell\/historyculture\/library.htm\" target=\"_blank\"> Yellowstone Research Library<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>One of the earliest\u2014though not the first\u2014was William Popham\u2019s 1911 book, &#8220;Yellowstone Park Romance,&#8221; which the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yell\/historyculture\/collections.htm\" target=\"_blank\">Yellowstone Heritage and Research Center<\/a> is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nps.gov\/yell\/blogs\/Yellowstone-Park-Romance-Day-1.htm\" target=\"_blank\">serializing online this week as Valentine&#8217;s Day approaches<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The relatively rare volume is out of print, and is not found in many collections, Gerdes said. A copy was donated to the Center in July, and librarians were dazzled by Popham&#8217;s grandiloquent writing style.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a unique item, and such a flowery book full of purple prose, we thought it would be a great one to share around Valentine&#8217;s,&#8221; said Gerdes, who is posting new chapters each day through Saturday on the Center&#8217;s blog.<\/p>\n<p>Popham tells the story of Kendric RuDell, a &#8220;gentleman hobo&#8221; making his way through Yellowstone, funded through the kindness of his fellow tourists. RuDell courts the well-to-do and comely young Clara Denhart, who shares her impressions of her suitor and the park through letters home to a friend.<\/p>\n<p>The story&#8217;s early sections move at a pace that might leave modern readers feeling stuck in low gear, with great suspense building over whether RuDell will get to kiss Denhart&#8217;s hand. (Spoiler alert: He does, prompting her to warn, &#8220;I cannot grant you this liberty again.&#8221;)<\/p>\n<p>Popham&#8217;s novel also offers a fictional but historically accurate look at how wealthy visitors toured the park before the advent of the automobile. It serves as an intriguing travelogue showing the luxurious pace of a trip that lasted several days, complete with descriptions of surging geysers and wandering elk.<\/p>\n<p>Gerdes said it was not clear whether Popham had actually visited Yellowstone, because much of his story could have been based on accounts from popular guide books. He describes boiling a fish at Fishing Cone, for instance, and feeding black bears by hand, common practices at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yellowstone Park Romance&#8221; was one of a series of love stories by Popham set in exotic places like the Grand Canyon, Niagara Falls and even the Washington Monument, Gerdes said.<\/p>\n<p>Reaction to the serialized love story has been good, Gerdes said, with followers on social media posting positive comments about the chance to read a Yellowstone romance just before Valentine&#8217;s Day.<\/p>\n<p>But romance aside, Popham&#8217;s book also gives modern visitors accustomed to seeing Yellowstone through windshields and smartphones a chance to experience the park as part of a different era\u2014a time when hashtags and text messages were not enough to capture the romance and splendor found on the trip of a lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Its indefinable beauty and grandeur will ever live in the tourist\u2019s memory,&#8221; Popham writes of Yellowstone. &#8220;For here are poems untold, pictures uncopied, and all the colors of the sea and the heavens spread out beyond the eye\u2019s power of comprehension.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><i>Contact Ruffin Prevost at 307-213-9818 or <\/i><a href=\"mailto:ruffin@yellowstonegate.com\"><i>ruffin@yellowstonegate.com<\/i><\/a><i>.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You don&#8217;t have to go far in Yellowstone National Park to find a romantic spot that would be the perfect setting for an epic love story.
