The historic background of geographic names in Yosemite National Park. The record of who named what and when, quotations from explorers, tourists, geographers, rangers, and soldiers, and often the peculiar, humorous, or moving events that gave rise to the names on the maps today.
Includes old names, Indian names, fanciful names, and names that won't be missed. The history of Yosemite is told by these names—the permanent record left by those who have preceded you.
"A thorough collection of geographic names. Drawings and early photographs add to the enjoyment of the book. The account of the first tourist group to visit the valley, in 1855, is worth the price of the book alone." — (The Sacramento Union.)
