Lafayette Houghton Bunnell, M.D., Discoverer of the Yosemite (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Lafayette Houghton Bunnell, M.D., Discoverer of the Yosemite This man was an inspiration in the life of Lafayette Bunnell, who tells of listening to his stories of adventure, declaring that these conversations were overheard by an observant child of good memory, and they made him ambitious of adventure, and just a little romantic. They were not the least injurious from a moral point of view, for he thought to emulate Dr. Houghton in usefulness, but alas for boyish imagin ings.

Nature's Mountain Mansion
Nature's Mountain Mansion is the first anthology on Yosemite that focuses exclusively on the nineteenth century, the critical period in which Yosemite was "discovered" by an expanding nation and transformed into one of the country's most visited national parks. While there are volumes that provide readings about Yosemite in the nineteenth century, few provide critical--sometimes even disparaging--eyewitness reflections on the Yosemite experience, and none include excerpts from the government documents that defined the future of the park, such as the Yosemite Valley Grant Act of 1864.
