"From Mrs. Edward Johnson in 1905 ("We had such a jolly time!") to Cathy Baker Dorn in 1970 ("Oh, my God, my heart stopped!), decades of Yellowstone visitors have been enthralled by Old Faithful Inn.  These enthralled visitors are best exemplified any day of the summer season by heads and eyes turned upward and mouths open in the Inn's lobby.  Indeed, Inn employees know that first time visitors can be easily identified, because they are the ones "looking up."

"Now for the first time, tow longtime Yellowstone residents, Karen Reinhart and Jeff Henry, have thoroughly researched and written a complete history of the Old Faithful Inn.  I think I speak for Inn lovers everywhere when I rejoice in sharing that it is so nice not to have to wonder and more." - Lee Whittlesey, Yellowstone National Park Historian
