  • The Historical Distribution of Bighorn Sheep in the Sierra Nevada, California
    Summer 2014 417 California Fish and Game 100(3):417-435; 2014 The historical distribution of bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada, California JOHN D. WEHAUSEN* AND FRED L. JONES White Mountain Research Center, University of California, 3000 East Line Street, Bishop, CA 93514, USA (JDW) 1721 Grouse Ridge Trail, Cool, CA 95614, USA (FLJ) *Correspondent: [email protected] Bighorn sheep in the Sierra Nevada disappeared from most of their historic range, surviving in only 3 populations west of the town of Independence in the Owens Valley. As a primary basis for restoration of these sheep, we compiled historical sightings and skull remains for Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep by twelve geographic regions, along with early estimates of population sizes where they existed. Historic sightings suggest that at least 10 populations survived to the twentieth century of which 2 persisted to the middle of that century before disappearing; but the sighting record does not distinguish viable populations from those that may have been declining to extinction. While it is possible for some populations to assign a decade when they disappeared, those populations may have lost viability earlier. Our data base probably represents the historical north-south distribution of these sheep and provides distributional details for some populations. However, it is remarkably sparse for some regions, suggesting that it may not have captured the full historical distribution of this animal, particularly west of the Sierra crest, where the earliest population losses may have occurred. Restoration efforts need to recognize this potential shortcoming. Key words: bighorn sheep, endangered species, historical distribution, Ovis canadensis sierrae, Sierra Nevada _________________________________________________________________________ Information on historical distribution is an important foundation for wildlife restoration programs.

  • The Sierra Sampler
    The Sierra Sampler Listed below, by region, are the 100 peaks that comprise the Sierra Sampler. While no mountain in the Sierra can be climbed without time, effort, and risk, these peaks represent a sub-set of the full SPS List that are relatively easy to get to, pose less danger than others on the List, are fun to climb and/or hold other qualities, and are drawn from the main areas of the range. The Sampler, which has been approved by the SPS Management Committee, thus provides a good introduction to the Sierra for climbers of varying degrees of experience and ability. The only award or acknowledgement associated with the completion of the Sierra Sampler is your satisfaction and enjoyment. Enjoy! 1. SOUTHERN 2. MINERAL KING 3. OLANCHA TO 4.

  • “Exploration of the Sierra Nevada” (1925) by Francis P. Farquhar
    Next: Introduction “Exploration of the Sierra Nevada” (1925) by Francis P. Farquhar “Exploration of the Sierra Nevada” appeared in the California Historical Society Quarterly for March 1925. It was a basis for at least two books, Place Names of the Sierra Nevada, appearing in 1926, and his best work, History of the Sierra Nevada (1946). The latter book is a popular classic still in print (and, unfortunately, still under copyright). However, if this Sierra Nevada history interests you, I highly recommend reading the book, as it provides more information than this article. • Introduction • Sierra Nevada • Moraga—1805 • Jedediah Smith and the American Trappers • Joseph Walker • Immigrant Parties • Frémont • Exploring the Passes • Yosemite and the Great Canyons • The Big Trees • The Whitney Survey and Clarence King • The Yosemite Valley Established as a Park • Other Events of the Sixties • John Muir • Joseph Le Conte • Mount Whitney • The Wheeler Survey • Frank Dusy • Wallace, Wales and Wright • Lil A.

He married his wife Marjory Bridge in 1934 and they had two sons and a daughter.
