Yellowstone Denied: The Life of Gustavus Cheney Doane. By Kim Allen Scott. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2007. xii + 305 pp. Illustrations, maps, notes, bibliography, index. $32.95.)

Captain Gustavus Cheney Doane was a frustrated glory hunter. He was a member of the Washburn-Langford-Doane expedition into the upper Yellowstone region in 1870. His report on the expedition was well written, however, and is his crowning achievement. A year before, men named Cook, Folsom, and Peterson had been there, but Doane never mentioned them. As for the Hayden Survey that was in the area in 1871, he manifested intense jealousy of its achievement and criticized it at every opportunity. In his mind, he was the discoverer of the Yellowstone! In the late fall and winter of 1876, he led a disastrous boat expedition down the Snake River from Heart Lake in the park. His last personal campaign (other than requested retirement) was to head the army contingent policing Yellowstone. He failed: thus the title, Yellowstone Denied.
