One Hundred Years in Yosemite

is a clear story—sometimes dramatic, sometimes humorous, always fascinating—of the struggles of the many men who brought about the development of a great national park from an unknown wilderness. It is an account of the men who first battled with Yosemite Indians, of those who excited the curiosity of the first tourists and played critical roles in heralding the valley of waterfalls, the back-country haven of peaks, glacial lakes, and Big Trees.

To this narrative is added the story behind the later works of men in the valley—its trails, roads, hotels, camps, climbs, and ski runs, and the tale of the legislative battles over fixing the park’s boundaries and preventing the overdevelopment and ruin of an irreplaceable scenic treasure.

This is not a guidebook to Yosemite, but a story of men who made possible the existence and enjoyment of the great park we know today—a story which can immeasurably increase the visitor’s enjoyment of Yosemite. For those who would pursue this aspect of Californiana further, there is appended the most nearly complete of published bibliographies on Yosemite.

Dr. Russell was for many years the Yosemite Park Naturalist, charged with representing Yosemite to the public. He is now Chief Naturalist of the National Park Service. His long list of publications has established him as an authority in this field.
