As a part of my initial framing of the book I am spending this year highlighting documents from the Yosemite archives that tell the park’s history. Some are known tales, others are not. But they are helping me frame my ideas on Yosemite and offer a peek behind the curtain at my own use of sources in a public manner. To read what I have done thus far click on the links below:
