They, however, only observed the Sierra Nevada mountains. None entered the high terrain where the giant Sequoia exist. Only one explorer came close to the Sierra Nevadas. In 1806 Ensign Gabriel Moraga, venturing into the foothills, crossed and named the Rio de la Santos Reyes (River of the Holy Kings) or Kings River. Americans in the San Joaquin Valley The first band of Americans entered the Valley in 1827 when Jedediah Smith and a group of fur traders traversed it from south to north. This journey ushered in the first American frontier as fifteen years of fur trapping followed. Still, none of these men reported sighting the giant trees. It was not until 1833 that members of the Joseph R. 1lalker expedition crossed the Sierra Nevadas and received credit as the first whites to See the Sequoia trees. These trees are presumed to form part of either the present M"rced or Tuolwnregroves. Others did not learn of their find since Walker's group failed to report their discovery.

  • Chapter 21: Literature: John Muir
    Mount Shasta Annotated Bibliography Chapter 21 Literature: John Muir John Muir's exceptional mental and physical stamina enabled him to rigorously pursue, often in solitary fashion, the exploration of California's mountains. In the Fall of 1874 and the Spring of 1875 he climbed Mt. Shasta three times. Among the entries listed in this section are Muir's pocket notebooks kept during these climbs. His 1875 notebook contains many detailed drawings of the Shasta region. In one case, on April 28, 1875, he drew from the summit of Mt. Shasta a picture depicting an approaching storm, a storm similar to the one which would two days later, on another climb of the mountain, trap him and his climbing partner Jerome Fay on the summit of Mt. Shasta. Also listed in this section are the reports of A. F. Rodgers, who had hired Muir and Fay in the Spring of 1875 to go and take summit barometric readings. Rodgers wrote a fascinating report which vividly details the appearance and condition of Muir and Fay immediately following the overnight ordeal on April 30, 1875. Muir himself wrote stories of the ordeal that were published in several sources, including Harper's Magazine in 1877 and Picturesque California in 1888. Many of Muir's other published works describe Mt. Shasta. His earliest Mt. Shasta writings were a series of five articles printed in the San Francisco Daily Evening Bulletin in 1874 and 1875; these have been edited and published by Robert Engberg as part of John Muir: Summering in the Sierra (not the same book as Muir's own book My First Summer in the Sierra).

C. E. Watkins photo. Galen Clark is famous for his discovery of the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia trees and for his role as Guardian of Yosemite National Park for several years. Mr. Clark didn’t seek to enrich himself from Yosemite Valley or the Sequoia Trees. He did try to make a living though. He ran a modest hotel and guide service, but was a poor business man who was constantly in debt. “Clark’s Station” in Wawona, for example, had several more employees than required for the number of guests and its short season. Toward the end of his life Mr. Clark was desperately poor. He wasn’t a great book writer, but due to his popularity and need to make a living, wrote three books on Yosemite.

Chapter 3 - Affected Environment Giant Sequoia National Monument, Draft Environmental Impact Statement Volume 1 1 Chapter 3 Affected Environment Volume 1 Giant Sequoia National Monument, Draft Environmental Impact Statement 2 Chapter 3 Affected Environment Chapter 3 Affected Environment Chapter 3 describes the affected environment or existing condition by resource area, as each is currently managed. This is the baseline condition against which environmental effects are evaluated and from which progress toward the desired condition can be measured. Vegetation, including Giant Sequoia Groves Vegetation within the Giant Sequoia National Monument can be grouped into ecological units with similar climatic, geology, soils, and vegetation communities. These units fall within three categories: oak woodlands/grasslands, shrublands/chaparral, and forestlands. The forested category between 5,000 and 7,000 feet in elevation, spanning the Monument from north to south, is dominated by mixed conifer and its variants.

The Ecological Unit Inventory that was completed in 1996 surveyed a larger area of approximately 7,745 acres that included the Converse Basin area and the adjacent McGee Canyon area •This basin and canyon area are both tributary to the Kings River. It is known as an area of extremely high relief with elevations ranging from 4,100 feet in the bottom of McGee Canyon to 7,200 feet at the top of Converse Mountain. •Several major drainages exist within the area including: Mill Flat Creek, Converse Creek, Verplank Creek, and Cabin Creek. •Special features in Converse Basin worth noting include: 1.) Chicago Stump; 2.) D21 stump near the Chicago stump that was dated by Andrew Douglas sometime between 1914 and 1930; 3.) Muir snag; 4.) Telescope snag; 5.) Log trestle; 6.) Boole tree; 7.)
