DISCOVERY OF THE YOSEMITE IN 1851. by Lafayette Houghton Bunnell, M.D., one of the Discoverers, of the Mariposa Battalion.
First published in 1880, this is the primary account of how Yosemite Valley came to be "discovered" by the white race. Of course, the Indians knew it was there; they were living in it when the battalion came to roust them out. The valley had been seen from its rims and from afar before this trip, but this was the first recorded entry and exploration. Bunnell proposed the name of the Indian tribe for the valley, "as it was suggestive, euphonious, and certainly American; that by so doing, the name of the tribe of Indians which we met leaving their homes in this valley, perhaps never to return, would be perpetuated." Foreword by former chief park naturalist William R. Jones.
Period engravings. 184pages, slightly abridged from the original. See sample pages, illustrations.

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.

THE HUMMINGBIRD OF THE CALIFORNIA WATERFALLS. by John Muir.
Reprinted from 1878. This has been called "the finest bird biography ever written". Muir's "waterfall hummingbird" is the water-ouzel, of course, now also called the dipper.

Some might have seen this little bird, but without this article have not yet enjoyed the flier/swimmer fully. As Muir's portrayal shows, much of the bird's intrigue is its physical elusiveness while remaining visually accessible. Enjoy this little story and enjoy this little bird.

OUR YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK. by John Muir.
Among its forests and wild gardens, animals and birds, fountains and streams. At the turn of the century, John Muir described Yosemite National Park to readers of The Atlantic Monthly in the articles here reprinted. Just a decade before he had been so involved with the park idea that he became known as the "father of Yosemite National Park". Muir knew the park better than anyone else, and he had a gift for expression that keeps his fame and his works alive yet. The writing here is perhaps the best blend Muir gave of the Yosemite as a wild nature preserve. The ecological account is full, and we learn much of Muir's observations of the Yosemite birds, bears, and blossoms as well as its winters, earthquakes, glaciers, and forests. Period illustrations. 96 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.

THE PROPOSED YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK--treasures and features.

by John Muir.

Perhaps the most important writing Muir ever did, for here he proposed a national park, which was soon established. He and his editor had hatched the scheme around a Tuolumne Meadows campfire, and so Muir became known as the "Father of Yosemite National Park." The writing is mostly descriptive, in Muir's magnificent style, covering the grand scenes, waterfall explorations, storm flooding, sequoias, glaciers, Hetch Hetchy Valley, and more. An included map shows Muir's proposed park boundaries, larger than today's, as one might imagine, for there was controversy about taking too much mineral land from potential production. Also shown is the watershed of the Yosemite Valley, as a major purpose of the new park was to protect the waterfalls of Yosemite Valley from upstream lumbering and sheep-grazing. At that time, Yosemite Valley was under state operation and the new park would not affect that; later, however, the valley was returned to federal management and the present park achieved its wholeness. Foreword by former Yosemite Chief Park Naturalist.

Reprinted from 1890, with period engravings. 32 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.

A RIVAL OF THE YOSEMITE: the cañon of the South Fork of Kings River, California. by John Muir.
As they had at Yosemite, Muir and his editor launched a campaign to get Kings Canyon set aside as a national park (some wanted to call it John Muir National Park), advising the law-givers to "make haste before it is too late". This writing was to be the stimulus. The park was not established, however, until 1940, when it was called Kings Canyon National Park. Muir's text is primarily descriptive, but as usual he includes personal adventures, in this case including a close encounter with a grizzly bear. Arguments for establishing the park are included, such as blocking grazing, lumbering, and mining. Text was reviewed by former Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Park Chief Park Naturalist and foreword is by former Yosemite Chief Park Naturalist. Period engravings, with map showing proposed park boundary, 24 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.

TIMBERLINE COUNTRY: the Sierra High Route. by Steve Roper.
Starts with a section on wilderness travel and the concept behind discovering and describing a route in the High Sierra of California that maximizes traversing country at timberline (treeline) and higher, as an alternative to this same region's John Muir Trail, laid out with different criteria. The High Route, however, is often also a cross-country route with no trail and so route-finding is an important skill in traveling it, and there is a bit more risk involved. "Early Exploration of the High Sierra" is a meaningful discussion of early pathfinders. The route is described in sections: "Kings Canyon to Dusy Basin", 'Dusy Basin to Lake Italy", "Lake Italy to Devil's Postpile", "Devil's Postpile to Tuolumne Meadows", "Tuolumne Meadows to Twin Lakes". A Sierra Club Totebook. Drawings, 288 little pages for carrying in the field, 24 pages of topographic maps, index.

THE WILD SHEEP. by John Muir.
Here the early naturalist-writer glorifies the mountain sheep, or bighorn, of the Sierra Nevada. In Muir's time (1881 is the date of this writing), sheep were still to be seen on his High Sierra rambles. He notes the distribution of sheep and their various species as well as their physical characteristics, and he also describes their mountain home where they lived, "the happy wanderers, perhaps relishing the beauty as well as the taste of the lovely flora on which they feed." But as always his finest sections are where he describes the sheep themselves and how they move about on cliff walls, fine four-legged mountaineers. Today, park and wildlife agencies are reestablishing populations of wild sheep in the Sierra Nevada and elsewhere, and we may thank Muir in part for this, as his writing helped keep our appreciation alive for them.

YOSEMITE: the story behind the scenery (CA). by William R. Jones, former Chief Naturalist of Yosemite National Park.
Presents all aspects of the Yosemite story--geologic origin of the principal features, Indian history and "discovery" by early explorers plus role in conservation history as what has been called America's first national park (set aside in 1864 and before Yellowstone of 1872 but without the term "national park" in its formal establishment), scenery of the High Sierra, and ecology of the park's three giant sequoia groves.  Yosemite!  Its cliffs and waterfalls are so high that the first explorers to see them could not estimate their heights.  Its landmark Half Dome is so distinctive in shape as to be unique in the world.  Its giant sequoia trees are so old that contemplation of their ages strains our human concept of time.  And its High Sierra wilderness is so remote and vast that few have ever seen it at all.
The story behind the scenery takes you through this magnificent National Park in a manner that is unique, interpreting the diversity of its wonders in a way you'll truly appreciate a tale told around Yosemite campfires:  A lady visitor, who wanted to spend her time in Yosemite to the best advantage, asked a park ranger, "What would you do if you had only one day to spend in Yosemite?"  "Madam," the ranger replied, " I'd weep. 9x12, 64 pages, 69 color photos & 8 maps.
