One Hundred Years In Yosemite: The Story Of A Great Park And Its Friends

One Hundred Years In Yosemite: The Story Of A Great Park And Its Friends, written by Carl Parcher Russell in 1931 (with a second edition in 1947), chronicles the history of Yosemite National Park from its discovery by non-natives during the Indian War of 1851 to the mid-20th century. Russell, an ecologist and former Chief Naturalist and Superintendent of Yosemite, provides a detailed narrative enriched with early photographs and drawings, as well as an extensive timeline and bibliography. This work is notable for its comprehensive account of the park's development and the role of its advocates.
