This beautiful literary collection explores the spectacular natural top features of Yosemite through the sight of a few of the most extraordinarily talented freelance writers. In 1851, Lafayette Bunnell chronicled his trips with the Mariposa Battalion, the first non-natives to visit Yosemite Valley. Following in his footsteps, Theodore Roosevelt, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Mark Twain, Clarence Ruler, Frederick Rules Olmsted, Joaquin Miller, and Horace Greeley made their pilgrimages and were relocated to recount their observations. Included here as well is the task of John Muir, creator of the Sierra Golf club, whose love for Yosemite led to the establishment of Yosemite National Playground in 1890. This lyrical book is a tribute to Yosemite's gorgeous landscape and will be a joy to everyone who adores this special piece of America.
