GALEN CLARK: Yosemite Guardian. by Shirley Sargent.
Galen Clark was so well known
for his dedication and devotion to Yosemite as a pioneer, explorer,
conservationist, author, and guardian that he was almost as famous as Half Dome.
By the middle of the twentieth century, however, his valuable contributions had
largely faded from public memory. John Muir has become a folk hero,
yet Clark, who was Muir's predecessor in Yosemite by twelve years and was far
more intimate with its affairs, has been neglected. It was he who discovered the
Mariposa Grove, kept peace with the Indians, superintended the building of
trails, roads, and bridges, and zealously protected the place he described as ".
...this wonderful sanctuary of Nature's vast mountain temple." (from the
foreword by Shirley Sargent). 88 large-format pages, 84 illustrations, index.

JOHN MUIR IN YOSEMITE. by Shirley Sargent;
foreword by John Muir's granddaughter.
Yosemite gave Muir purpose and goals
that changed his life and that of the nation. This book presents his early years
in Yosemite and his struggles to preserve the wilderness. To students of Muir,
John Muir and Yosemite are synonymous. To Shirley Sargent, historian, long time
resident and authority on Yosemite, telling the story of Muir and his love
affair with the Valley was a must. "She has related the story of John Muir's
residency, his work, studies, accomplishments, and struggles which were the
prelude to his life's work in geology, conservation, and the establishment of
National Parks, with freshness and enthusiasm. She dispels some old legends with
accurate research and has documented for all time the true facts concerning one
of America's outstanding preservationists." (Jean Hanna Clark,
granddaughter of John Muir.) "The Call of the Wild", "First Summer in the
Sierra", "A Lifetime of Love Work", "Pathway to Immortality".
48 pages, 8.5 x 11, 44 illustrations.
