Bunnell Next: Introduction Lafayette H. Bunnell, M.D. (from frontispiece in 1880 edition) Summary (Library of Congress) Lafayette Houghton Bunnell (1824-1903) was a member of the Mariposa Battalion that became the white discoverers of the Yosemite Valley in 1851 when they rode out in search of Native American tribal leaders involved in recent raids on American settlements. Dr. Bunnell later served as a surgeon in the Civil War. Discovery of the Yosemite, and the Indian war of 1851 (originally published 1880) contains his account of that event, beginning with the history of the battalion and the tribal unrest that inspired its creation. He goes on to chronicle the unit’s march from its camp near Agua Fria into the mountains down the South Fork of the Merced River. Bunnell recalls his comrades’ reactions to the natural grandeur they encountered in the Yosemite Valley as well as the trivia of camp life and encounters with the native tribes they were sent to pacify. The book concludes with chapters of the Valley’s history after 1851, discussions of the region’s flora and fauna, and a chapter on the discovery of the sequoias and their later exploitation. A biography of Dr. Bunnell appears in Hank Johnston Yosemite’s Yesterdays, v. 2, chapter 1 (1991). Editor’s note: For an earlier version of this book, see Lafayette Bunnell’s article “How the Yo-Semite Valley was Discovered and Named,” Hutchings’ Illustrated California Magazine (May 1859) [PDF]. For a slightly different account of the Indian War, see the account of William Howard, who served with Bunnell, and also Lt. Tredwell Moore’s reports of the same events, dated 1852. —dea. • Title Page • Chapter • Illustrations 8 • Descriptive Table of Contents • Chapter • Maps 9 ♦ Map of the Yosemite National • Chapter Park 10 [This map appeared in the third Discovery of the Yosemite (1892) by Lafayette H.

  • Inventing Yosemite Valley: National Parks and the Language of Preservation
    Inventing Yosemite Valley: National Parks and the Language of Preservation Yves Figueiredo ne of the intriguing facts about the giant sequoia has nothing to do with either its size or antiquity, but rather with its name. The species set a record for the number and variety of scientific denominations Oattributed to it by botanists around the world and it took no fewer than thir- teen different designations before Sequoiadendron giganteum was generally ac- cepted. In particular, this debate occasioned a bitter confrontation between British and American botanists. When it became clear that the existence of the tree was not another tall tale from the West, the English adopted in 1853 the term Wellingtonia gigantea to honor the memory of the Duke of Wellington. It would be a mild understatement to say that the Americans did not approve of the choice of an Old World statesman to name a New World wonder and they promptly retorted with Washingtonia gigantea. The current name was fi- nally agreed on when it became apparent that the tree was a cousin of the Coast Redwood Sequoia sempervirens.1 The sheer fact that such a heated debate could have happened over such a seemingly insignificant and rather technical matter shows that the real focus was not so much on the trees themselves as on what they stood for, and on the cultural role that they were to play in the post-Civil War United States. However, even more telling perhaps is the name by which the trees were most commonly designated by the public while the debate was raging in the higher spheres of scientific societies worldwide: sequoias were for every- body the “Big Trees” or “Mammoth Trees.” These names convey images of grandeur, of sheer size, and reveal the perception of the sequoia as above all a monument of nature.

  • LITERARY NONFICTION and the NATIONAL PARK MOVEMENT, 1864-PRESENT Lindsay Dunne
    Abstract Title of Dissertation: DEFINING PLACES: LITERARY NONFICTION AND THE NATIONAL PARK MOVEMENT, 1864-PRESENT Lindsay Dunne Jacoby, Doctor of Philosophy, 2014 Dissertation directed by: Professor Jeanne Fahnestock and Professor Scott Wible Department of English The canon of American “Nature writing” has long been recognized for its influence on environmental policy, but the role of specific works in shaping environmental discourse and altering material circumstances has yet to be fully understood, especially from a rhetorical perspective. In response, this dissertation explores how works of Nature writing have functioned as persuasive arguments of definition within the National Park movement. It analyzes how literary nonfiction texts promoted a public understanding of specific landscapes and redefined them as worthy of preservation. The idea of rhetorical ecology underlies this analysis: rather than relying on the commonplace idea that a single author writing a single text can influence an environmental policy, the dissertation traces how a work of literary nonfiction operates within a complex system of texts, writers, readers, institutions, objects, and history. The four main case studies demonstrate how new definitions of place have emerged through works of literary nonfiction, each acting in relationship to a larger campaign that led to the preservation of an American landscape as a National Park: Yosemite, Great Smoky Mountains, Everglades, and Voyageurs. In these landmark campaigns, a prominent work of Nature writing, by a prominent author like John Muir, Horace Kephart, Marjory Stoneman Douglas, and Sigurd Olson, built upon and contributed to a definitional discourse that enabled people to see a specific landscape differently than it had been seen before.

Hunter Background The theme of the Textile Society of America’s Symposium 2018 “The Social Fabric: Deep Local to Pan Global” addresses the impact of immigration and settlers on an already long-inhabited land and how textile traditions were influenced by cultural contact. My topic is American Indian basketry in Yosemite Valley, Central California, and the changes that occurred due to contact with settlers, immigrants and tourists in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. This story requires an understanding of local, regional and national history. I selected this topic because of the Hutchings Mills Collection at the Robert S.

  • Ethnographic Data and Tribal Engagement at Yosemite National Park
    land Article Reframing Native Knowledge, Co-Managing Native Landscapes: Ethnographic Data and Tribal Engagement at Yosemite National Park Rochelle Bloom and Douglas Deur * Department of Anthropology, Portland State University, Portland, OR 97207, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 25 August 2020; Accepted: 18 September 2020; Published: 22 September 2020 Abstract: Several Native American communities assert traditional ties to Yosemite Valley, and special connections to the exceptional landmarks and natural resources of Yosemite National Park. However, tribal claims relating to this highly visible park with its many competing constituencies—such as tribal assertions of traditional ties to particular landscapes or requests for access to certain plant gathering areas—often require supporting documentation from the written record. Addressing this need, academic researchers, the National Park Service and park-associated tribes collaborated in a multi-year effort to assemble a comprehensive ethnographic database containing most available written accounts of Native American land and resource use in Yosemite National Park. To date, the database includes over 13,000 searchable and georeferenced entries from historical accounts, archived ethnographic notebooks, tribal oral history transcripts and more. The Yosemite National Park Ethnographic Database represents a progressive tool for identifying culturally significant places and resources in Yosemite—a tool already being used by both cultural and natural resource managers within the National Park Service as well as tribal communities considering opportunities for future collaborative management of their traditional homelands within Yosemite National Park. We conclude that the organization of such data, including inherent ambiguities and contradictions, periodically updated with data provided by contemporary Tribal members, offers a rich, multivocal and dynamic representation of cultural traditions linked to specific park lands and resources.

While the main hotel building is one of the most recognized and iconic grand lodges in the National Park system, the eight cottages that sit in the pine and oak groves immediately southeast of the monumental hotel building are less well­ known. These cottages, designed by architect Eldridge "Ted" Spencer in 1928, contain twenty-four guest rooms and comprise an integral part of the Ahwahnee Hotel's historical and architectural significance. The inclusion of cottages (commonly referred to at the time as "bungalows") in the Ahwahnee Hotel Complex was an essential component of the plan for the hotel to function as a resort hotel for wealthy visitors to Yosemite National Park.

    Yosemite Valley Place Names (1955) by Richard J. Hartesveldt [ A B C D E F G H I K L M N O P Q R S T U V W Y ] Yosemite Nature Notes THE MONTHLY PUBLICATION OF THE YOSEMITE NATURALIST DEPARTMENT AND THE YOSEMITE NATURAL HISTORY ASSOCIATION, INC. VOL. XXXIV JANUARY, 1955 NO. 1 Yosemite Valley Place Names Cover: El Capitan and Merced River, Yosemite Valley. Courtesy Yosemite Park and Curry Co. By Richard J. Hartesveldt Senior Ranger Naturalist From the earliest days of human languages names have been bestowed upon mountains, lakes, streams and other geographical features that they might be distinguished one from another. The earliest names given were largely descriptive, but as time progressed, people were honored by having their names given to features whose description was not apparent. Although nearly all of the present place names of the Yosemite Valley region have been in use for at least a half a century, some names are falling into disuse while others are favored. The origin of several names is lost in obscurity; others are well preserved in history. The credit for many of these names goes back as far as 1851, the date of the discovery of the Yosemite Valley by the Mariposa Battalion, and especially to Dr. Lafayette H. Bunnell, surgeon for the group, James Hutchings, pioneer hotelman in Yosemite Valley, the Whitney Survey Party, and the members of the U. S. Army Administration are responsible for nearly all of the others. Considerable discrepancy will be noted among the translations of Indian names. [Editor’s note: Bunnell was not the surgeon for the group, never claimed he was, and only earned a sham M.D.
