FOOTNOTES

[1]The first legislature of the state appointed a committee to report on
the derivation and definition of the names of the several counties
of California. The report is dated April 16, 1850, and from it is
quoted the following:

“In the month of June, 1806 (in one of their yearly excursions to
the valley of the rushes—Valle de los Tulares—with a view to hunt
elks), a party of Californians pitched their tents on a stream at
the foot of the Sierra Nevada, and whilst there, myriads of
butterflies, of the most gorgeous and variegated colors, clustered
on the surrounding trees, attracted their attention, from which
circumstance they gave the stream the appellation of Mariposa. Hence
Mariposa River, from which the county (also heavily laden with the
precious metal) derives its poetical name.”

[2]Foremost among the references is L. H. Bunnell’s _Discovery of the
Yosemite_, published in 1880. Bunnell was closely associated with
Savage during three of his most active years in the Mariposa region;
his account is intimate and rich in detail and unprejudiced. We
catch an interesting glimpse of Savage, the ’forty-niner, through
the pages also of George H. Tinkham’s _California Men and Events_.
Something additional of his gold mining and trading is gleaned from
the writings of W. E. Wilde and S. P. Elias. Elliott’s _History of
Fresno County_ contributes a number of authenticated incidents, and
J. M. Hutchings reveals matters regarding influences that
undoubtedly figured in his tragic death. United States Senate
documents record his official dealings with the Indians; L. A.
Winchell gives some information on his enemies; contemporary
newspapers describe his meeting with death; and finally _Depositions
from the Papers of Geo. W. Wright, One of Two First Congressmen from
California_, provides papers pertaining to the Court of Claims,
1858, in which appears sworn testimony regarding the shooting of
Savage. This last paper formed a part of the Boutwell Dunlap
Collection.

[3]Bell (1927) records that the photographer, Vance, made pictures of
Savage and his Indians on this occasion.

[4]A muster roll of the Mariposa Battalion appears in Elliott, 1881, and
in Russell, 1931, pp. 186-191.

[5]The Walker party, 1833, may have been the first to see the Merced
Grove. See p. 8. See also Wegner, J. H., _Yosemite Nature Notes_
(1930), p. 67.

Museum.

[10]Camps at these spots first were established in the days of the
Desmond Park Service Company, 1916-1918.

[11]A road of sorts crossed Sonora Pass prior to this construction work.
Hittell (1911, p. 218) tells of Grizzly Adams’s trip through the
pass with a wagon in the Spring of 1854.

[12]See Farquhar, 1926, pp. 15-23.

[13]Joseph LeConte became a faculty member at the University of
California in 1869 and made his first trip to Yosemite in 1870. Of
that experience, he wrote, “This trip was almost an era in my life.”
For the rest of his life, he devoted much time to Sierra studies. He
died suddenly in the valley, July 6, 1901. The LeConte Memorial
Lodge in Yosemite Valley, built by the Sierra Club in 1903,
commemorates his work (see _Sierra Club Bulletin_, 1904, 1905;
Farquhar, 1926, pp. 30-32).

[14]Lt. Montgomery Meigs Macomb, assisted by J. C. Spiller and F. O.
Maxson, explored the Yosemite region in 1878 and 1879. Their work
was a part of the program of the U. S. Geographical Surveys West of
the 100th Meridian, Capt. George M. Wheeler in charge. This program
received the general direction of the Chief of Engineers, U. S.
Army. Macomb's field work yielded the data for a map which was
standard in the Yosemite region for many years (see U. S. War Dept.,
1879).

[15]In 1879, the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey sent a
reconnaissance party into the Yosemite high country under the
leadership of George Davidson. Mount Conness was occupied on that
occasion and again in 1887 and 1890 (see p. 72; also Davidson,
1892).

[16]The United States Geological Survey was organized in 1879 under the
direction of Clarence King. In 1882 and 1883, a thorough study was
made of the Yosemite high country west of Mono Lake. Israel C.
Russell was in charge of this field work. Willard D. Johnson and
Grove Karl Gilbert assisted him. These men confirmed some of the
original work done by Muir and Joseph LeConte (See U. S. Geological
Survey, 1883-84, pp. 31-32, 303-328; 1886-87, I: 261-394; I. C.
Russell, 1897, pp. 37-54; Farquhar, 1926, p. 42).

[17]See Ralph H. Lewis, 1941 and 1945; Robert C. Robinson, 1940.

[18]Mount Conness, one of the outstanding peaks in the Tuolumne Meadows
region, was named for Senator John Conness by Clarence King, later
first director of the United States Geological Survey, but at the
time a member of the Whitney Survey. King and James T. Gardiner were
the first to climb the peak, making the ascent in 1864. Referring to
the mountain, King said that because of its “firm peak with titan
strength and brow so square and solid, it seems altogether natural
we should have named it for California’s statesman, John Conness.”

1938. For a synopsis of his work and the activities of others in the

account of the Stephen T. Mather Appreciation and the dedication of
Mather Memorial Plaques, presented by that organization.

[24]At that time called Lafayette National Park and since re-named when
it was extended to include a portion of the mainland.
