Volume I
Campfire Stories: Tales from America’s National Parks - Vol I brings together tales about our national parks; some are by well-known writers such as John Muir, Bill Bryson, and Terry Tempest Williams, while others are from pioneer diaries or have been passed down through generations of indigenous peoples.
Volume I focuses on these six iconic national parks:
Acadia National Park
Great Smoky Mountains National Park
Rocky Mountain National ParkK
Yellowstone National Park
Yosemite National Park
Zion National Park
Co-editors Dave and Ilyssa Kyu spent five months traveling and researching the stories in the book. They gathered each of these stories from public libraries, historical societies, arts and cultural organizations, museums, research centers, and national park archives. They interviewed park rangers, historians, artists, curators, educators, and local residents, who all offered insights and guidance into the essence of each place.

Volume II
Inspired by America’s beloved national parks, Campfire Stories: Tales from America’s National Parks and Trails - Vol II is a collection of modern prose, poetry, folklore, and more, featuring commissioned, new, and existing works from a diverse group of writers who share a deep appreciation of the natural world.
While the original Campfire Stories captured many historic tales reflecting the first 100 years of the National Park Service, this completely new collection, focused on five different parks (plus two long-distance trails), depicts the parks as we know and experience them today.
Contributors represent a range of rich and diverse voices, including from the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities. Award winners such as Lauret Savoy, Rae DelBianco, and Terry Tempest Williams; newer voices including Derick Lugo, Rosette Royale, and Ed Bok Lee; and even a poet laureate, Rena Priest--all share their unique perspectives on our national parks and trails. These new campfire stories revel in each park’s distinct landscape and imaginatively transport the reader to the warm edge of a campfire ring.
Volume II focuses on these six iconic national parks and scenic trails:
Grand Canyon National Park
Everglades National Park
Olympic National Park
Glacier National Park
Joshua Tree National Park
Appalachian Trail
Pacific Crest Trail
