Book Yosemite

    Book Details:
  • Author : Alfred Runte
  • Publisher : Rowman & Littlefield
  • Release : 2020-08-01
  • ISBN : 1493053655
  • Pages : 353 pages

Download or read book Yosemite written by Alfred Runte and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-08-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should a national park be managed? Among all of the debates affecting America’s national parks, none has proved more enduring. Nor has any park, Alfred Runte reminds us, been in the spotlight more than Yosemite. Its cast of characters is especially rich, including James Mason Hutchings, Galen Clark, Frederick Law Olmsted, John Muir, David Brower, Joseph Grinnell, George M. Wright, and Ansel Adams. Not only was Yosemite the centerpiece of their careers, it was also the wellspring of their passion for nature. Now fully revised and updated, Yosemite: The Embattled Wilderness continues their story, from Yosemite’s path-breaking establishment in 1864 as a grant to California, 1890 expansion into a national park, boundary reductions and loss of the Hetch Hetchy Valley, evolution of wildlife protections and science, management practices threatening Yosemite Valley, and the fight for wilderness to the present day.

Book Yosemite and Sequoia

    Book Details:
  • Author : Richard J. Orsi
  • Publisher : Univ of California Press
  • Release : 2023-11-10
  • ISBN : 0520339878
  • Pages : 525 pages

Download or read book Yosemite and Sequoia written by Richard J. Orsi and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A century and a quarter ago, the national park idea was born when Abraham Lincoln signed legislation setting aside Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias "for public use, resort, and recreation inalienable for all time." Over the next decade, the Yosemite park commissioners had to fight private land claims to the valley. By 1890, however, a public park system was firmly established in California when the Yosemite high country and much of what is now Sequoia and King's Canyon National Parks were set aside as federally protected, public preserves. This collection of essays and photographs, originally published as a special issue of California History, documents the creation and management of California's first three national parks. As the essays remind us, the issues of park development so hotly debated today were raised first in Yosemite nearly a century ago. Yosemite's significance in landscape art, its role in the development of western tourism, and its promotion as one of the great icons of American culture are among the other major themes discussed here.
