I picked this book up and after reading realized I had read it years before, but what the hey! It is so very good and very interesting. The chapters on Grizzly Adams, and R.W. Emerson in the Mariposa Grove are truly interesting. John Muir was quite the dude and this park would not be the same without him. I found Carelton E. Watkins photos on the web and have used them as wallpaper for my computer. So when the going gets tough I go to Yosemite in cyberspace!!
