Yosemite National Park and Vicinity

Yosemite historian and local resident Leroy Radanovich explores Yosemite's surprisingly diverse history, including the park's military and mining history, as well as Tioga Road and nearby Bodie. Some of the settlements and mining camps shown here still survive, while others are merely shadows. Nonetheless, the outer zones of Yosemite hold much intrigue and little-known history, all of which enriches this national treasure and World Heritage Site.

This 128-page book is overflowing with crisp, clear period photographs and informative captions, perfect for armchair historians and researchers alike.
