Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Discovery of the Yosemite: The Indian War of 1851 Which Led to That Event Since the publication of the second edition of this book, and an arti cle from the author's pen in the Century Magazine for September, 1890, numerous letters of approval from old comrades have been received, and a few dates obtained from old official correspondence that will now be introduced. In addition to what may properly belong to this history, there have been introduced a few remarks concerning the habits and character of the Indians. This subject is not entirely new, but the Opinions expressed are the results of many years acquaintance with various tribes, and may be useful. The incidental remarks about game will probably interest some. To the author, the study of nature in all its aspects has been interesting. The author's views regarding the gold deposits and glaciers of the Sierras are given simply as suggestions. His especial efforts have been directed to the placing on record events connected with the discovery of the Yosemite, for description of its scenery he feels to be impossible. In reverent acknowledgment of this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Engineering and History--Speculation and Discouragement--A New Deal--Wall Street--A Primitive Bridge--First Woman in the Yosemite--Lady Visitors from Mariposa and Lady Teachers from San Francisco--Measurements of Heights--First Houses, and their Occupants --A Gay Party and a Glorious Feast. Although no visits were made during the year 1854 to the Yosemite Valley, it was at this time that the existence of such a locality began to be generally known outside of the limits of Mariposa county. Many of the inhabitants of that county, however, were still incredulous of its being any more remarkable than some other localities among the Sierras. As a matter of early history, I will give a few details of occurrences indirectly connected with the bringing of this valley to the attention of the public as a wonderful natural curiosity. During the year 1854 an effort was made by a party of engineers from Tuolumne county, to explore a route by which water could be brought from the South Fork of the Merced river into the "dry diggings." After a reconnoissance, the route was pronounced too expensive to be profitable, as the supply of water would be insufficient, unless the ditch should be extended to the main river, which was not considered practicable. Notwithstanding this adverse report, the Mariposa "Chronicle" continued to advocate the practicability of the proposed plan, and made some effort to induce capitalists to take an interest in the enterprise, claiming that like investments had proved profitable in the northern mines. To test the feasibility of such a project, Colonel Caruthers and Angevine Keynolds, then of Stockton, came up to explore and run aline of levels over the route. They brought with them, as engineer, Capt. Kiel, a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reports of the Secretary of the Interior Relative to Yosemite Park: 1892 Sir: The Senate adopted September 22, 1890, the following resolution: Resolved, That the Secretary of the Interior be directed to carefully inquire and report to the Senate at his earliest convenience whether the lands granted to the State of California on certain conditions by act of Congress approved June 30, 1864, have been spoliated or otherwise diverted in whole or in part from the public use contemplated by the grant, and if so what steps if any, in his judgment, are necessary and proper to be taken in order that the necessary public use may be subserved and further spoliation prevented. In response there was submitted the following statement and suggestions: The act approved June 30, 1864, grants to the State of California the gorge of the Yosemite Valley at the head waters of the Merced River of an estimated length of 15 miles and a width of 1 mile back from the main edge of the precipice on each side of the valley and also "the tracts embracing what is known as the Mariposa Big Tree Grove not to exceed the area of 4 sections to be taken in legal subdivisions of one-fourth section each." The boundaries of these tracts were to be established by the United States surveyor-general of California at the expense of that State. The grant was "with the stipulations that the State shall accept this grant upon the express conditions that the premises shall be held for public use, resort, and recreation, shall be inalienable for all time; but leases not exceeding ten years may be granted for portions of said premises; all incomes derived from leases of privileges to be expended in the preparation and improvement or the property or the roads leading thereto. The premises managed by the governor of the State with eight other commissioners to be appointed by him, and who shall serve without compensation." The act of Congress, with all the attending provisions and trusts, was accepted by the State of California by legislative act, approved April 2, 1866. Commissioners were appointed, the reservation surveyed, and possession taken. They have ever since been held and managed by that State, by the board of commissioners provided for by the grant and through guardians subject to the control of said board. There was no appropriation made to enable the Secretary to adequately prosecute the inquiry now demanded, and it has therefore been pursued upon correspondence merely, and the statements made and upon which this report is founded are for the most part unsworn to. Upon the passage of the resolution immediate steps were taken to obtain all the accessible information concerning the condition and management of the reservation named. Letters of inquiry were addressed to all persons of good repute who were deemed to have had opportunities for informing themselves in the matter. Reports and printed statements bearing upon the subject, as well as photographs of various localities in the valley, were looked up, and a special agent was sent to make investigation. In this way a very large amount of the evidence of the nature mentioned has been obtained. The original letters and papers are filed in the Department. A careful abstract is herewith presented. It will be found that while opinions of witnesses differ as to management and treatment, there is very general agreement as to facts. While some have been more observant and clear-sighted than others, there is almost no contradiction between statements. The following points are by such statements affirmed. First, as to the Yosemite proper. There has been a very general and indiscriminate destruction of timber. Some of this has been done to obtain building, bridge, and fencing material and fuel. Some, as it would seem, to prepare lands for the plow or pasture; some with the notion of opening up views from certain points; a great deal fro.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lore and the Lure of the Yosemite: The Indians; Their Customs, Legends, and Beliefs, and the Story of Yosemite These were all, or nearly all, of more or less religious significance, for the Indian universally acknowledged the existence of a supreme power, who held their fortune in his hands, who answered prayers and punished wrong doing. So while from border to border, the length of our coast, the smoke curled upward from ten thousand lodge poles, the Indian roamed, and hunted and fished, un afraid, o'er a thousand plains and hills, and the wild fox dug his hole unscared, from many a dusky breast went up a grateful prayer to The Great Spirit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays and photographs, originally published as a special issue of California History, the journal of the California Historical Society, documents the creation and management of California's first three national parks, focusing on the debate over preservation versus development. As the authors of these essays remind us, tourists visited Yosemite long before its establishment as a national park; and the issues of park development so hotly debated today were raised and debated first in Yosemite, nearly a hundred years ago.
