520 _aThe town of Cinnabar, Montana, no longer exists, but when it did, it served as the immediate railroad gateway for a generation of visitors to Yellowstone National Park. Visitors passed through its streets from September 1, 1883, through June 15, 1903, on their way to "Wonderland" when Cinnabar was a raucous Wild-West town, and this book tells the story of its place in the West.
