Summary "Discovery of the Yosemite, and the Indian War of 1851, Which Led to That Event" by Lafayette Houghton Bunnell is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the events culminating in the discovery of Yosemite Valley and explores the related conflict between white settlers and Native American tribes in California. It is particularly focused on the role of the Mariposa Battalion, of which the author was part, during the tumultuous events of the Indian War of 1851. At the start of this historical narrative, Bunnell reflects on his earlier experiences in California, highlighting a powerful encounter with the Sierra Nevada mountains that would shape his later exploration. He describes the growing hostilities between Native Americans and settlers, exemplified through the actions of James D. Savage, a trader and pivotal character, who warned settlers of impending attacks by indigenous tribes. The opening sections detail Savage's cautious preparations against these threats, culminating in skirmishes that led to the formation of the Mariposa Battalion—a military response to protect settlers and ultimately discover the picturesque Yosemite Valley amid the chaos of war.
