It reports findings from field investigation that examined and inventoried landscape features such as stone retaining walls, treadway material, bridges and causeways, and water features on both current-use and abandoned trail segments. The site was examined numerous times over a three-month period, with a followup visit one year later. Libraries and other archives were consulted for written and photographic historic documentation, which were analyzed against current conditions.

    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.

    Yosemite 62(2)

    YosetNte A JOURNAL FOR MEMBERS OF THE YOSEMITE ASSOCIATION Spring 2000 Volume 62 Number 2 An Interview with Superintendent Mihalic Yosemite's new superintendent, David A. Mihalic, has arrived at a critical juncture in the park 's history. The National Park Service proposes that over twenty years of Yosemite planning efforts will culminate soon with the adoption of the much-discussed Yosemite Valley Plan. Interior Secretary Babbitt wants a record of decision by December 2000, so the plan is definitely on the fast track . Given Mihalic's previous successes in developing and implementing man- agement plans, he appears to be a good choice to direct this effort. BY BETH PRATT AN INTRYIIY WITH SUPERINTENDENT MIHALIC The resume of David Mihalic features a list of leader- ship roles in both planning efforts and partnerships throughout the national park system . He has been with the park service since 1972, when he began his career as a seasonal park ranger in Glacier National Park . During his tenure as Superintendent at Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve in Alaska, he completed the park 's first general management plan . He was named the winner of the National Park Service Director 's "Superintendent of the Year" award in 1993 for his work in developing a local biosphere community to protect the natural resources at Mammoth Cave National Park. He returned to Glacier as its Superintendent in 1994, where he led the park in crafting its General Management Plan. While in Glacier he received the Garrison Gold Award for Interpretive Excellence, the Hastings Foundation Annual Leadership Award for developing strong partnerships with gateway communities, and was Superintendent Mihalic with Secretary of the Interior Bruce Rabbit (right).

    YOSEMITE National Park UNITED STATES RAILROAD ADMINISTRATION N AT IONAL PARK. SERIES Glacier Point, Yosemite Valley. The Half Dome in background Pa£e two An Appreciation of Yosemite NationalPark By HARRIET MONROE, Editor of "Poetry, a Magazine of Verse" Written Especially for the United Slates Railroad Administration WICE—and each time through an entire July—I have tramped with the California Sierra Club through the grandest areas of the Yosemite National Park. I have camped in the Valley, in Tuolumne Meadows, and in the lost Hetch-Hetchy—sleeping to the sound of rushing waters with mountains towering around me. I have crossed Vogelsang Pass when the mountain hemlocks were just slipping off their wet mantles of snow; I have descended the formidable Tuolumne Canyon past the third fall; and under Mount Dana I have looked down over the red rocks of Bloody Canyon to Lake Mono, lying incredibly blue among the pink and lilac craters of dead volcanoes. My memories of this prismatically shattered earth are sharp in details of beauty, but all of them rise against white granite and falling waters. Never anywhere else can there be mountains so silver-white—El Capitan shouldering the sky, Cloud's Rest and the two great Domes giving back the sun, and Ritter, Lyell and Dana, fierce and jagged, guarding their inscrutable heights. And through the crevices of this gleaming granite run everywhere crystal streams—streams mad with joy that foam as they fly, and shout as they take enormous leaps over stark precipices. All kinds of falling waters—the delicate cascades of Illilouette; the wind-blown tulle of Bridal Veil; Nevada, lacy, white-fingered, taking her 600-foot leap like a step in a dance; Vernal, broad-shouldered, strong-bodied, massive, as he jumps like an athlete; and, most wonder­ ful of all, Yosemite, that Upper Yosemite Fall whose leap is 1,500 feet — a tall white living figure against the formidable cliff, a figure moving and breathing, tossing the spray from his eyes, shining tall and straight there like a young Greek god.
