About this book
Tenting To-Night; A Chronicle of Sport and Adventure in Glacier Park and the Cascade Mountains by Mary Roberts Rinehart plunges listeners into a spirited, early-20th-century journey through some of America’s most dramatic wilderness. Rinehart’s travelogue blends vivid outdoor narrative with keen observational detail—canoeing pristine lakes, running Whitefish and Flathead rapids, and tenting beneath alpine stars—while her lively prose captures the art of travel and the thrill of exploration.
Part travel writing, part historical sketch, the book situates Glacier National Park and the Cascade Mountains within their deeper human and natural histories, noting the region’s Indigenous inhabitants and the changing face of conservation and tourism during the 1910s. Richly descriptive passages evoke landscapes, wildlife encounters, and the camaraderie of expedition life; accompanying illustrations add an artistic layer that complements the text.
Ideal for fans of history, travel, and art alike, and for listeners who enjoy classic outdoor literature or the work of Mary Roberts Rinehart beyond her famous mysteries, this audiobook offers a timeless window into frontier adventure and the early American love affair with the great outdoors.
