Really? I did not know that. If only there were pictures.
In today's research notes: How is it possible that two people both with the name Lippincott, yet unrelated, would both have an impact on the course of Yosemite and both visited the park in that same year. On June 24, Oliver Lippincott drove his steam powered Locomobile into the park, make the first time an automobile drove into the park. In the same year Joseph Barlow Lippincott of the USGS surveyed Hetch Hetchy as part of the program to dam the valley for San Francisco. JB Lippincott would go on to work with William Mullholland to help divert water from the Owen's Valley for use by Los Angeles.
