To have them removed would require the commission to go before the Supreme Court. This bill was the first time that land was set aside as a park for preservation. This set the precedent that led to the 1872 creation of America’s first National Park, Yellowstone, which is also widely considered the first National Park in the world. This was accomplished through “The Act of Dedication” law, signed by Ulysses S. Grant. When Yellowstone gained National Park status, it was removed from an auction of land for settlers to homestead, protecting this area. Recognizing the importance of protecting Yellowstone, the US government moved to protect other natural wonders. Sequoia, and Yosemite National Parks were both created the same year, within months of each other. These preventative measures have since been given to a total of 60 protected areas around the United States.

This unique viewpoint delivers spectacular views of the monolith, as well as Half Dome and Bridalveil Fall. Half Dome is named for its distinctive shape, with three sides being smooth and round, while the fourth side is a sheer rock face. Half Dome is an extremely popular hike that makes use of cable bridges to reach the top. There are numerous seasonal and non-seasonal waterfalls in Yosemite. Bridalveil Fall is one of Yosemite’s biggest crowd-pleasers, being visible from Tunnel View. Another waterfall of note in Yosemite is Ribbon Fall; a flow that comes off the western face of El Capitan. This fall is the longest single-drop waterfall in North America with the total height of 1,634 feet, ranking it as the 99th tallest waterfall in the world!

    0550 accurate reproduction, piease see microfiche card 12, frame 3338] CHRISTIAN JORGENSEN 1859...... 1935 DE YOUNG MUSEUM 90 0551 CHRISTIAN JORGENSEN Conspicuously in the foreground of western artists stands the figure of Christian Jorgensen, "Chris" to his nu­ merous friends, admirers, and associates, the "Chris" of a thousand canvases, all of them argued by their proud posses­ sors into the position of his best. The story of their crea­ tor centers attention upon a combination of courage and ge­ nius which has proved an unbeatable fusion. A painter who has lived amid and loved the subject matter of his art, Jorgensen's pictures of the Yosemite Valley and the Missions of California are monuments of early art in this country. His studies made from the ruins of San Francisco, commemorat­ ed a passing phase of American life and recorded the pictur­ esque side of a tragedy. His paintings of the old Catholic Missions, which range over the country from San Francisco to Mexico, are interesting from an architectural as well as ar­ tistic standpoint. They depict the efforts of the Francis­ can monks in behalf of the Indians nearly a century and a half ago. YOUTH AND EARLY TRAINING Chris Jorgensen was born in Christiania (now Oslo), Norway, in 1859, of seafaring folk. The artist's birthplace, however, matters little, for it claimed him less than a dec-? ade. His pride as well as his achievements belong to the 91 0552 JORGENSEN land of his adoption. His journey from Christiania was sig­ nificant, because artistic development in San Francisco was then within the reach of a penniless boy.

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.

Gold Rush Supplies Read the following passage and answer the question(s). Text 1 The following is from the diary of a miner, William Z. Walker from 1849. Mon. Sep. 10th The amount collected by the miners on Bear River was from $4 to $16 and sometimes even $50 per day. Each according to the luck of the miner. Supplies were very high here. Flour $40. per hundred, Pork and Bacon $1. per lb. Other things in proportion Gold–rockers were worth $40. Shovels $10. Picks $10. and so on. Walker, William Z.. Diary, 1849. September 1849, pages 135 – 137. Text 2 The following is from a textbook chapter on the California Gold Rush. During the California Gold Rush, some miners were more successful than others. Most miners earned $6 to $10 per day. But some miners in 1849 could dig $2000 a day! After striking it rich, some miners had a lot of money. This gave Sam Brannan, a store owner, an idea. He raised the cost of supplies for miners. In his greed he became rich without mining. He did not struggle like the miners. In his store, mining pans that were just 20 cents started to sell for $15. In different parts of the state, prices were high too. Miners paid different prices for flour. In September, flour was $50 per 100 pounds. A month later, miners paid $30 for the same flour, but in a different city.
