Book - Campfire Stories: Tales from America's National Parks

The stories that belong around a fire.

Campfire Stories: Tales from America's National Parks is a richly curated anthology that brings together the best writing about America's most beloved wild places. Editors Dave and Ilyssa Kyu spent six months traveling and researching — visiting public libraries, historical societies, national park archives, and local communities — to gather stories that span generations and voices.

You'll find celebrated writers like John Muir, Bill Bryson, and Terry Tempest Williams alongside pioneer diaries and stories passed down through indigenous peoples for generations. Together they create something rare: a book that makes you feel the weight of these places, their history, and why they matter.
