Description

This beautiful literary collection explores the spectacular natural features of Yosemite throughout the eyes of some of the most extraordinarily gifted writers. In 1851, Lafayette Bunnell chronicled his travels with the Mariposa Battalion, the primary non-natives to consult with Yosemite Valley. Following in his footsteps, Theodore Roosevelt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, Clarence King, Frederick Law Olmsted, Joaquin Miller, and Horace Greeley made their pilgrimages and were moved to recount their observations. Included here as well is the work of John Muir, founding father of the Sierra Club, whose love for Yosemite ended in the established order of Yosemite National Park in 1890. This lyrical book is a tribute to Yosemite’s stunning landscape and can be a joy to everyone who loves this special piece of The usa.
