100 Years in Yosemite by Carl P. Russell
A good survey work. The book doesn't have a lot of depth but it hits all the major points from the earliest people to see the valley to entry for the first time by whites to about the 1930s. The book was good in the fact that it pointed to other books for more in depth coverage of the various subjects. Some chapters were just lists of people who worked in the park. There were two appendices that were incredibly interesting. One was ten important documents related to the park including letters from the people involved in the Indian pursuits into Yosemite. The second was a time line of the key events of Yosemite History.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
