Ranger Confidential

Author: 
Lankford, Andrea
Publication Date: 
2010
In Ranger Confidential, Lankford recalls some of the dramatic highlights of her time as a park ranger.  She dwells mostly on the gruesome and tragic events, which makes the book a rather depressing inside look at death in the national parks.  For the most part, each chapter focuses on a different incident, making the book read more like a series of articles.  Surely Lankford had some funny or enjoyable experiences as a ranger, but you won't read about them here.  I was left disillusioned and saddened that our park rangers encounter enough death and injury to negate the joy of working in the parks.
