There's a book by Tim Cahill that deals with the wolf question very nicely - https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/22722/lost-in-my-own-backyard-by-tim-cahill/

Yes, Cahill has several interesting reads and is from a town fifty miles north of the park. We track the pack movements for entertainment and watched the den action in person Slough Creek last year. That particular pack, the Junction Pack, moved a few weeks ago back to the other side of the river. Adds to our enjoyment of the park!

The 1959 earthquake caused no deaths in Yellowstone Park, nor was it centered in the park. A little reading would also clarify the numbers and reasons for death and injury.
I never said that there were deaths inside the park, most were in a campground outside the park in what is now "Quake Lake" my parents knew some of those who died and some that felt like they needed to go now and got out before the quake hit. What I said was we had a wrangler who would take people into the backcountry. He never found some of his horses and lost all his gear.

No big deal, but your post would lead readers to think that the deaths occurred inside the park and this discussion has been about YNP. The quake is often referred to as the Yellowstone Quake which is a misnomer. Btw, I have been to Hebgen Lake and quite familiar with the area and fault shifts that are still visible.

My mom and dad, my two brothers and I were on that road going north a few days before the earthquake hit. We were in Helena visiting relatives when it hit. One of our more lucky days.
