“Dangers and wilderness go hand in hand. That is part of the attraction of wilderness, and danger is part of the allure”
Lee H. Whittlesey, Death in Yellowstone: Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park

“On many occasions animals are not so much trying to hurt us as giving us a mere rebuke or warning. The trouble is, a mere rebuke or warning from a bear can put a human in traction.”
Lee H. Whittlesey

“Without hesitating, he said, “Can you tell me something? These animals that are just running around out here . . . they couldn’t be wild, could they, or you wouldn’t just have them running around loose?”
Lee H. Whittlesey, Death in Yellowstone: Accidents and Foolhardiness in the First National Park
