Yosemite National Park and Vicinity   (CA)  (Images of America)
Yosemite historian Leroy Radanovich has written extensively on the park and Mariposa County, and in this volume he explores the park's surprisingly diverse history. Included here are images of Yosemite's military and mining history, as well as the road that crossed the Sierra. Some of the settlements and mining camps shown here still survive, while others are merely shadows. Nonetheless, the outer zones of the park hold much intrigue and little-known history, all of which enriches this national treasure.
