Author Bio

Janet Chapple 2011
Janet Chapple is a Montana native whose parents once worked at Old Faithful Inn, the historic lodge in Yellowstone Park. The updated sixth edition of the Yellowstone Treasures guidebook is out May 15, 2020. She is the author of five previous editions of Yellowstone Treasures and the cotranslator from the French of Yellowstone, Land of Wonders, an 1883 travelogue to and through Yellowstone by Belgian travel writer Jules Leclercq. In June 2016 we published Through Early Yellowstone, with travel stories she selected and annotated. Foreword Reviews has described her as “Yellowstone Institute student, professional cellist, and geyser geek.” She lives in Oakland, California.

Download Janet’s editor bio in pdf format or learn more on the About Us page. Janet also answers many questions about her research for Through Early Yellowstone, choice of the cover picture, and benefits to the reader in her Q and A about the anthology.
