A young medical student from Cornell travels to Yellowstone Park to join in on a bontanical rsearch expedition. Going only by the first initials A.E., she is invited by Professor Merriman (in charge of the group) and to his chagrin finds out that she is a woman. and refuses to take her along for economic, gender and other reasons. She fights and earns the right to accompany them and do her own scientific research. To quote from the back cover of the book: "Simply and brilliantly captures that time when the American wilderness was still a pristine, awe-inspiring place."
