The author also provides insights into the park's rich history, including the stories of the indigenous people who once inhabited the area, as well as the early explorers and settlers who helped to establish the park. The book is a perfect guide for anyone planning a trip to Yosemite or for those who simply want to experience the park's majesty from the comfort of their own home.1926. Being a collection of favorite Yosemite views, together with a brief account of its history and legends, for those who want to know and enjoy Yosemite more. The purpose of this book is to quicken again emotions that were stirred by such pictures in the heart of every visitor, by presentation of the outstanding views of Yosemite; since, without an occasional jogging, memory pictures alone blur and become indistinct with time. And just as so many people who make a tour of the Valley elect to have a guide to furnish the facts and the fancies, so is a text appended to the illustrations. If this book serves, then, to recapture even for a moment the sparkle of the sun-sifted spray of the Bridal Veil, or the evening shadows and tints on Half Dome, or if it recreates for a moment the tourist days of the Yosemite of our mothers, in the era of the stage coach, as contrasted with the present, with its automobile roads to the very feet of the glaciers, it will have fulfilled its mission.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
