Who doesn’t wonder about the story behind an amazing wildlife photograph? 

How high did the photographer have to climb to find mountain goats? How many hours did he have to stay still to catch a photo of a mother badger emerging from her den? What exactly is a “pika,” anyway?

Those questions were in the mind of Cody resident Julia Cook when she took on the task of creating a unique photo book featuring the creatures who inhabit Yellowstone National Park. 

Cook’s degree in environmental science from the University of Wyoming, paired with her skills as a wildlife photographer, were in full play when she began work on the book that became “Wild Wonders: The Untamed and Enigmatic Animals that Inhabit Yellowstone National Park.”

The book, now in wide release across the U.S., is more than just a photo album. 

“Wild Wonders” takes the reader on a field trip diving into biology, ecology and the nature of Yellowstone.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Young Photographer"}]

For someone so young (Cook graduated from Cody High School in 2019), the variety of wildlife featured in the book, as well as the quality of the photos, would make one believe that this collection was a decade or more in the making. 

[{"type":"text","text":"But Cook said her love affair with photography began just five years ago."}]

“I didn't really start photography until 2020, when all my college classes went online,” she said. “I've always loved Yellowstone, and we'd always go to the park. 

"And so while it's free time, I guess I'll go to Yellowstone a little more often than I'm used to.”

Cook said that she originally got a camera to simply document the wildlife she was encountering — and she got “hooked” fast.

“So then in the fall semester, and the rest of my time in college, I worked with my professors to get all online classes so I could stay in Cody and do school remotely, and go into Yellowstone almost every day,” she said.  

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Photography Meets Science"}]

Cook discovered that wildlife photography requires infinitely more patience than the wildlife watching she did with her parents and brother.

“When I was a kid, like, we'd sit and we'd watch a bear for a couple minutes and then leave,” she said. “But with photography, you’re sitting there and watching the animal over a couple hours.”

Cook files wildlife photography into both the “art” and the “science” folders.

“I've always been artistic and loved being creative, but I've also really loved science, too,” she said. “I always try to not let my presence affect the animals’ behavior or movement or anything, and that comes from the science background of being able to identify animal behavior, things like tracking, and knowing body language.” 

When it came to writing the book, Cook said she felt it was important to include both the art and the science to bring her subjects to life.

“So much of what conservation is, is people connecting with the photos and the wild animals,” she said. “So each section starts with the scientific facts, the ecology, any threats to the species, and then after that, there's a couple of photos for each species that tells my experience in the field behind that photo.”

Cook said her goal was to make the reader feel like they were there with her.

“I tried to make the narrative stories feel like someone was just sitting with me, out in the field, watching the wildlife with me,” she said.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Social Media Inspired"}]

For anyone who might dismiss the impact of social media on a person’s career, it was Cook’s Instagram posts that inspired the book. 

She said publishing company The Quarto Group reached out to her because of the quality of her photographs on the social media platform.

“I thought it was a scam email at first,” said Cook, although some research quickly determined that the company was credible. “They had done a couple of illustrated books on national parks by artists, and they wanted to try something photography related.”

One of the editors had been following Cook’s Instagram account, which brought her to Quarto’s attention. 

“They first just asked if I'd be interested in using any of my photos for a photo book,” said Cook. “And then they asked if I knew anyone that knew anything about the wildlife of Yellowstone that would maybe want to write it.”

So Cook sent the publishers examples of her writing from her time at UW, and they offered her the opportunity to write the text of the book.

“They pretty much gave me creative control over what direction to go,” she said.

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"The Selection Process"}]

Growing up in Cody, Cook said her inspiration for the layout of the book was the Draper Museum of Natural History at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

“I’ve been volunteering in their lab for about seven years, and one day walking through on my way to the lab, I got the idea to organize it by elevation, like the Draper,” she said. “The book starts in the plains and moves up in elevation through the mountain meadows and forests before ending in the alpine.”

Because of the wealth of photographs Cook has collected in the last five years, she said it was difficult to narrow down the pictures that would make it into “Wild Wonders.”

“Elk are most photographed during the rut, and the bulls. And so I wanted to include a cow elk,” she said. “And for the different grizzly bears that I photographed, I wanted to show them across the seasons.”

Although her focus was on the mammals of Yellowstone, there were some animals she wanted to include in the book that eluded her efforts.

“It's a joke with all my friends, but a pine marten is, like, my nemesis,” said Cook. “I can never get photos of a pine marten.”

So she said she included a section at the end of the book about the elusive animals of Yellowstone.

“The mountain lions and the things that were there, but I haven’t photographed,” said Cook. “I saw wolverine a couple years ago, so I talked about it in that section, but I didn't get any photos of it.”

For Cook, one of the joys of creating her book has been introducing others to the world she grew up in.

“For me growing up in Yellowstone, so many things are just ‘normal,’” she said. “And then I'd send (the editors) photos and sample texts, and it was funny. 

"They didn't know what a pika was, and they were all like, ‘This is the cutest animal ever.’”

While “Wild Wonders” is solely focused on the animals and ecosystem of Yellowstone, Cook’s 

 accounts showcase the other wildlife she has photographed.

“I just got back from a trip photographing polar bears up in Canada,” she said. “I booked with a company up in Churchill (Manitoba), and spent five full days up there photographing polar bears. It was so cool.”

Additionally, Cook is hosting photography safaris and workshops in the Yellowstone region.

“I have one in February up in Cooke City,” she said. “I've been working with the Skyline guest ranch up there, doing some guiding and workshops. And I have another one of those in June sometime.”

Until then, Cook keeps her website and Instagram accounts updated with those stunning photographs.

“I have a website where I sell prints, and I have calendars too, and I just like sharing my photos with other people,” she said. 

[{"type":"text","marks":[{"type":"textStyle"},{"type":"bold"}],"text":"Nationwide Exposure"}]

One of the thrills for Cook is knowing that her view of Yellowstone is being shared across the nation. 

Her older brother, Trevor, is a dancer and choreographer in New York City (who also wrote the foreword for the book), and he discovered “Wild Wonders” in a major bookstore in Manhattan.

“He was in a Barnes and Noble in Manhattan, and just happened to see it there,” said Cook.

“So he sent me pictures of him holding it, and he had it open to the pages that he wrote.”

Cook said she knows it’s in Cody’s bookstore, Legends, but is unsure about the availability at other hometown stores.

“The publisher handled all the marketing stuff, which was really nice, because that's something that I don't really know much about,” she said.

The important thing for Cook is sharing Yellowstone with those who have never been, or who don’t get to be there as often as she does.

“I just try to inspire people to care about wildlife and spend time outside,” she said. “Really, the value of seeing wildlife is just seeing it — you don't have to get a photo for it to mean something. 

"There's so many days that I go and I don't even turn my camera on, but I still spend the day in Yellowstone. There's worse ways to spend some time.”

Hunting

Hunters will go to great lengths to try to bag a grizzly big enough for the record books. They hire guides to take them deep into the northern wilderness and pack expensive rifles chambered for whopping cartridges capable of dropping bears. 

But one of the largest grizzlies ever recorded was killed in 1953 with a single shot from a .22 rifle wielded by a tiny Canadian Cree grandmother named Bella Twin. 

Guy Eastman of Cody has hunted numerous species all over the world, including grizzly bears in Canada. He said Bella’s accomplishment, and sheer courage, will likely never be matched. 

[{"type":"text","text":"“That’s one hell of a daring shot,” he said. "}]

[{"type":"text","text":"She Knew Right Were To Aim"}]

Twin, 63 at the time, lived in the Slave Lake area of Alberta and had been hunting and trapping her entire life, so she knew bear anatomy well. 

According to accounts from the time, she knew exactly where to shoot the bear — in the side of the head from just a few yards away. 

Head shots on grizzlies are incredibly risky because they have such thick skulls, Eastman said. And from the front, a grizzly’s skull is sloped, so they can act as helmets and deflect bullets. 

“They claim that a grizzly skull can deflect a .30-06 round from the front,” he said. 

That’s why shot placement means everything, retired Forest Service and National Park Ranger Richard Jones, who lives in grizzly country west of Cody, told Cowboy State Daily. 

Jones has also worked as a law enforcement firearms instructor, and said he uses Twin’s story to highlight the importance of proper shot placement.

To be clear, from all accounts from 1953 through today, Twin’s shot wasn’t lucky, it was good.

[{"type":"text","text":"A Small Game Hunt Becomes A Grizzly Hunt"}]

As the story goes, Twin and her partner, Dave Auger, had no intention of trying to bag a record-class grizzly when they set out on May 10, 1953, near Florida Lake in Alberta. 

There were after small game, and Twin had her trusty single-shot Cooey Ace 1 rifle with her. She’d packed it many times while checking her trap lines and was known to be deadly accurate with it. 

According to accounts, she had several rounds of .22 long ammunition with her. Most people who target shoot or hunt with .22s are these days used to the .22 long rifle cartridge. It’s more modern and more powerful than the old .22 long.

Before long, they spotted a huge grizzly bear approaching. It was a windy day, and Twin and Auger were behind some brush. While the bear might have scented them, it apparently never heard or saw them. 

When the bear came up to within just a few yards, Twin took deliberate aim at a tiny weak point in the side of the bear’s head and fired. 

The grizzly reportedly dropped instantly, stone dead, after the first shot. 

But not being one to take any chances, Twin walked up to the fallen beast and put a few more rounds through the side of its head. 

[{"type":"text","text":"Set The World Record"}]

Though she might have gone out that day to hunt rabbits, squirrels and the like, Twin had bagged a world-class grizzly. 

The Boone & Crocket (B&C) big game record measuring system is considered the gold standard by hunters all over the world. B&C bear records are judged by skull size. 

This bear’s skull was 16 9/16 inches long and 9 14/16 inches wide, for a total score of 26 7/16 inches. That made it the world record grizzly at the time.

The next year, the skull of a bear shot by a hunter on the coast of British Columbia, Canada, beat Twin’s score by a 3/16ths of an inch. 

[{"type":"text","text":"Twin’s grizzly is still in the B&C records books, ranking No. 21. "}]

[{"type":"text","text":"Skill And Courage"}]

Eastman said Twin’s accomplishment is worthy of respect. It also highlights the knowledge and skill of Native American hunters in the northern regions. 

His grandfather, Gordon Eastman, pioneered outdoor adventure filmmaking. His father, Mike Eastman, founded the Eastmans hunting media company, and Guy Eastman later took the helm. 

“My grandfather filmed Natives way up north hunting polar bears with small calibers, like .22s,” he said. “They know this ‘sweet spot’ to hit them in right between the shoulder blade and the spine,” he said. 

[{"type":"text","text":"That type of hunting is not for cowards, he said. "}]

“They bay the polar bear up with a dog, and then they get in really close and shoot them in that perfect spot,” Eastman said. 

Twin apparently had similar knowledge of exactly where to shoot a grizzly, but that doesn’t make the shot any less badass, he said. 

“That’s pretty gutsy to shoot a bear like that, because if you make one mistake, you’re going to have a really pissed off grizzly right there,” he said. 

[{"type":"text","text":"Accuracy Is Everything"}]

Hunters might never stop arguing about what the perfect rifle cartridge is, but Twin’s story illustrates that precision accuracy is what really counts, Jones said. 

“All the online ‘gun experts’ argue about the best calibers or guns for self-defense, and especially against bears. As a 30-plus year police firearms instructor, I’ve always said shot placement is the most important and effective aspect of stopping any attack,” he said. “Unless the central nervous system is hit, any attacker, man or beast, can continue its attack even for a few minutes. Not good.

“I say, have a gun, any gun, and hope for an instant CNS (central nervous system) effect to stop the attack. I use Bella Twin to illustrate my point.”

The Cokeville Elementary School hostage crisis happened 39 years ago on May 16, 1986, at Cokeville, Wyoming, when former town marshal David Young and his wife Doris took some 154 children and adults hostage.

After a three-hour standoff, a gasoline bomb the couple was carrying went off prematurely, injuring Doris Young while David Young was out of the room. Returning to the scene, David Young shot his wife, then himself. 

All the hostages escaped and survived, though 79 were hospitalized with burns and other injuries. 

That’s the stale AI-generated Wikipedia recount of what was very nearly the worst school attack in American history. A “just the facts, ma’am” retelling of a hostage incident balanced on the edge of tragedy.

“I expected to see dead bodies everywhere, but I didn’t,” said bomb tech Rich Haskell, who heard over the radio the homemade device detonated as he sped to the scene. 

There are so many “should haves” and “shouldn’t haves” associated with this story. Emergency agencies just happened to be gathered for a training in tiny Cokeville, population 500, at the time. And an explosion with the potential to destroy an entire school wing killed only the bombers and none of the kids and teachers. 

“It just didn't go off the way it was supposed to. There should have been a horrendous explosion,” Haskell told investigators after he cleared the scene. “I’m not a religious man, but what you’ve got here is a miracle. There's no doubt in my mind that there was divine intervention."

The predominately LDS community of Cokeville in southwest Wyoming was perfectly willing to embrace the miracle angle. But leaning on faith, even for the devout, conjures hard-to-answer questions. If God saved Cokeville kids, why not Columbine? Where was he at Sandy Hook?

The incident spawned a couple of movies, TV shows, and numerous books. Much of that material has been sensationalized or is just plain inaccurate. A 10-year follow up by local media outlets was too painful for many in the Cokeville area to relive and participate in. 

Since 1986, very little additional information has been added to the story of the 

. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints community controls much of the narrative, though they are quick to embrace all faiths with their declaration of a modern-day miracle. 

Other aspects of the incident that many are aware of only through the movie are equally compelling. What drove a madman to perpetrate such a heinous act? What role did his teenage daughter play and what does she think about her father now? And how did a hardened cop, with little use for anything that could not be proved in court, come to believe the kids in that fated classroom were protected by angels?

[{"type":"text","text":"Building A Perverted Profile"}]

Everyone who knew him said David Young was a man too intelligent for his own good. He viewed everyone around him as intellectually inferior. He had difficulty maintaining meaningful relationships.

“He would just talk way above their heads or talk about things that did not make sense to your average person,” said Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office lead investigator Ron Hartley.

“He was the bookworm type, a genius, but his common sense just was zip,” Young’s first wife told the Arizona Republic. 

She described Young as a non-drinker who claimed to be an agnostic. She added he was “gun crazy” and always had lots of firearms around.

David Young was also a meticulous journal-keeper, often recording minutiae like what he had to eat each day and when. In addition to some 43 diaries left behind in his van and hotel room, Young had also written several manifestos and pamphlets explaining his BNW (Brave New World) philosophies. 

It was up to Hartley and an FBI behavioral analyst to pore over documentation left by Young after the Cokeville hostage crisis to try and figure out what made the bomber tick.

It was important to make some sense of Young’s bizarre anti-government ramblings just to rule out any terrorist threat connection to groups like the Aryan Nation.

After reading things like his “Zero Equals Infinity” treatise, investigators were fairly certain Young was acting alone. 

The extensive amount of documentation found later in Young’s van and in a nearby hotel room also convinced Hartley that Young knew he was at the end of the line. He would not be coming out of the school alive. 

At one point, after weeks of reading Young’s dark literature, Hartley was so deep down a rabbit hole he was afraid he was losing his mind.

“I've gone over this a thousand times, and I dream about it. I just can't understand what he's talking about,” Hartley told the FBI behavioral analyst.

The behavioralist answered, “’Well, let me tell you, the day you understand what this is talking about, I'll be seeing you professionally. Forget it. It doesn't make sense."

Kathy Davison, a 911 dispatcher and emergency management coordinator, also read some of Young’s diaries.

“They were horrible,” she said in a 2010 interview from the archives of the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources. “You could tell right away that he was a very possessive man. He talked about what his wife ate and how much she weighed. In her diaries, she said if she gained a pound, he punished her. He was a very controlling person.”

Kliss Sparks, a fourth grade teacher at the time of the incident, also read some of the journals in later years. 

“It was absolutely malarkey. It did not make any sense. He was not normal,” she said.

In his writings, Hartley said Young also briefly mentioned a plan to hijack a plane. “He had no intention of, I guess, having a career in anything,” Hartley speculated. 

[{"type":"text","text":"Oddball Turns Outcast"}]

As a high school student in Grinnell, Iowa, David Young easily achieved straight A’s. Except for one class: philosophy. He got his only C ever. 

Fittingly, nothing seemed to conform to Young’s view of the world until he read Robert M. Pirsig's “Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.” After that, Young began down a murky path filled with views of an afterlife.

[{"type":"text","text":"“That book was his bible,” Hartley said."}]

By the time Young hit his 30s, he was beginning to map out his guiding principles. He believed wholeheartedly in reincarnation, and that he could take others (Cokeville school kids) with him to a Brave New World as well material things like money.

[{"type":"text","text":"Young was delusional. And dangerous."}]

“He was controlling. I was in fear of him all the time,” his daughter Princess told 

Princess was 19 years old at the time of the Cokeville bombing. A daughter by a previous marriage, she gradually saw signs her father was losing it, but still craved his approval.

[{"type":"text","text":"Troubled Family Life"}]

David Young bounced around from job to job, mostly in law enforcement. He was described as a “gun nut” wherever he went. 

In 1979, Young got a job as town marshal of Cokeville. He lasted just six months — the probationary period — after which he was let go. He was accused of inappropriate relations with several women in town, as well as trying to peddle nude photographs of his preadolescent daughter.

In the short time he was in Cokeville, Young was also ridiculed behind his back. People mockingly called him “Wyatt Earp.” He wore a wide-brimmed cowboy hat and carried a long-barreled pistol in a holster strapped to his leg, like an Old West gunfighter.

[{"type":"text","text":"He didn’t fit in."}]

Young did manage to marry a cocktail waitress named Doris during his brief stay in Cokeville. The family then moved to Idaho before eventually settling down in a doublewide trailer in Tucson, Arizona, where Young was constantly tinkering in the year leading up to the 1986 bombing.

“He was kind of a chemist, always doing research. He was collecting tuna cans and we didn’t know what he was doing with them. I mean, what do you need an old tuna can from?” Princess recalled in the Slate podcast.

Young plotted his school takeover for years. He called it, “The Biggie.” His wife, his daughter and two investor friends (a cousin named Gerald Deppe and hunting buddy Doyle Mendenhall of Preston, Idaho) had no idea what “The Biggie” actually was, but they all believed it had something to do with a get-rich-quick scheme.

The slick-talking Young had everyone convinced he was maybe working on a novelty energy source. He was, in reality, building a bomb.

It was in the Arizona desert that Young successfully tested a prototype. It worked flawlessly. He was ready.

On May 15, 1986, David Young gathered his team at a nearby hotel in Montpelier, Idaho. Princess remembers going into the bathroom and seeing a bunch of “weird stuff in the bathtub” — flour, tuna cans, string and clothespins — the makings of his ordnance from hell.

“Then he drops a bombshell on me that if I was to be part of the biggie, I had to sleep with him. And I said, ‘Fathers don’t do that to their daughters,’” Princess recalled in the podcast. 

[{"type":"text","text":"The rest of the night was nerve-wracking for Princess. "}]

“From that point on, he was watching me like I was going to run. It got ugly,” she said.

The next day was a Friday. Young surveilled the school from a nearby hill using binoculars. The 42-year-old had reportedly considered Afton, Big Piney or La Barge, Wyoming, but settled on Cokeville. Young needed extremely bright students for his plan to succeed. More importantly, he wanted a small community with little law enforcement presence. 

Once Young was sure all students at the K-6 school were inside the building, he revealed his plan.

[{"type":"text","text":"Everyone was horrified; the investors, his wife and daughter. "}]

“We were all like mouths dropped open. Like, what the hell is going on right now? All of us did not want anything to do with it. Even [my stepmom],” Princess said.

Young handcuffed the two unwilling investors to the inside of the van. He coerced his wife Doris to come along and got Princess to at least help wheel the bomb into the school and carry some guns. 

“This is a revolution. I'm taking the school hostage,” Young told various teachers and administration at the school when he arrived. 

“I saw all these little children’s faces running back and forth in a hallway. And I’m like, ‘How can I grab these children? How can I save them?’” Princess told Slate. “But of course, I was trembling so bad and I dropped a couple guns.”

[{"type":"text","text":"Daughter Defects"}]

[{"type":"text","text":"Princess began crying uncontrollably. "}]

[{"type":"text","text":"First grade teacher Janelle Dayton remembers what happened next. "}]

This young woman, very pretty young woman, was just hysterical. She screamed at David and said, ‘I can’t believe that you’re going to go through with this!’” Dayton said.

Several eyewitnesses remembered Young tossing the keys to the van to his daughter, saying something to the effect, “You’ve been a good kid but you’re no daughter of mine.”

“Is that all you have for me? I’ve been a good kid?” Princess said, in tears. “I grabbed the keys and I jumped in the van and I almost wrecked just getting it out of the parking lot.”

[{"type":"text","text":"She drove straight down Main Street and burst into Town Hall."}]

“I started screaming that I needed help, and nobody wanted to listen to me. I used some very harsh curse words,” Princess admitted.

Firefighter Kevin Walker remembers it well. He and several others had just finished a meeting regarding spring flooding in the area. It was about 1 p.m. when an exasperated Princess stormed in.

“You stupid fucking people! What in the hell is the matter with you? Don’t you give a fuck about your kids? My father’s over there and he’s going to blow them all up!” Walker remembers a frantic Princess telling him. 

Walker answered, “You don’t need to use that language here. We’re in a public building. Now if this was Chicago, I’d believe you. We’re in downtown Cokeville. I don’t believe you, and I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t talk [that way].”

Princess led Walker to the van where Mendenhall and Deppe were handcuffed together. He said he’ll never forget what Princess told him next.

“He’s got enough explosives in there to blow that whole school up,” he said Princess told him. “If it goes off, it’s gone. He’s planned this for a long time and it’ll be gone.”

Princess was turned over to dispatcher Davison, who asked for clarification.

“My dad went in the school to take it over and a bomb's going to go off and it's going to kill a whole lot of people,” Princess repeated.

Davison immediately began calling everyone she could, but it was slow going. Sheriff Deb Wolfsley was out of town. The town marshal was out of town. Hartley was returning from a trip to Utah. 

Finally, Davison reached the Uinta County sheriff in Kemmerer, but she still had trouble getting anyone to believe it was a real hostage situation and not a drill.  

“This is Kathy and we need everybody headed to Cokeville that we can get because there's an incident at the school,” Davison told dispatch in Kemmerer. 

A bomb squad and SWAT team was mobilized from Jackson. Any vehicle with a siren was soon racing toward the scene where every school-age kid in Cokeville — kindergarten to sixth grade — was being held at gunpoint. 

On May 16, 1986, David Young wheeled a bomb into the Cokeville, Wyoming, elementary school planning to blow it and 154 hostages into oblivion. Many who were there that day say angels saved them from becoming the worst school disaster in U.S. history.
