Man and Yosemite: a Photographers View of the Early Years

The Yosemite Valley was not visited by white explorers until after the invention of photography. This book presents a photographic history of the area made by those who gradually overran its meadows, arriving on horses, wagons, cars and motorcycles. "These pictures form a perspective of things lost, of moments forgotten, of changes that--like the growth of a forest--pass too slowly for us to see."--the publisher.
