Introduced and annotated by Hank Johnston

This colorful collection of early visits to Yosemite chronicles the first-hand accounts of adventures through the park on foot, on horseback, or even on bicycle. These records are an informative, humorous, and oftentimes remarkable look into personal experiences with the national park before the advent of modern transportation.
