Summary "One Hundred Years in Yosemite: The Story of a Great Park and Its Friends" by Carl Parcher Russell is a historical account written in the mid-20th century. The book delves into the rich history of Yosemite National Park, tracing its evolution and the significant contributions of various individuals who played a role in its preservation and appreciation. The work not only recounts events but also reflects on the broader concepts of conservation and land management that have developed around this iconic natural site. The opening of the book sets the stage with a foreword that emphasizes Yosemite's significance as a national park and the uniqueness of its history. It discusses early American interactions with the Sierra Nevada region, detailing the expeditions of trappers and explorers, such as Jedediah Smith and Joseph Walker, who laid the groundwork for future admiration and stewardship of the area. Russell highlights the struggles against commercialization and the ongoing efforts to maintain the park's integrity and beauty over the past century, establishing a tone of reverence and duty towards the land that will resonate throughout the narrative.
