Daughter of a Park Ranger

By Chas Hartman

Carolyn Hartman grew up as the child of a National Park Service ranger, and she lived in more states and saw more kinds of wildlife by the age of 18 than most humans see in their entire lifetimes. Carolyn often had very little notice when another family move was about to occur and she was never consulted before these decisions were made. That not only affected her personal relationships, but it also impacted her ability to pursue academic endeavors. Carolyn was not alone in her adventure as the daughter of a park ranger, because her older sister and her two brothers also grew up in the national parks. When Carolyn enrolled in college in 1961 at the University of Nebraska, she stepped out of her prominent father's shadow and into a life of making her own decisions. That moment in time represented the culmination of 18 years of the kinds of experiences most people can only dream about. This book provides an in-depth examination of Carolyn's childhood and the extraordinary journey her life took. In addition to conducting several hours of interviews with Carolyn, the author spoke with multiple other sources that all had front row seats to the events that took place during Carolyn's childhood.A special edition of this book will be released in the fall of 2013, and it will include a bonus part about Charles "Bugs" Hartman's childhood and an additional interview with Carolyn Hartman.
