Yosemite
John Shertzer Hittell (1825-1901) was as American author. He graduated from Miami University in 1843, then studied law, but never completed his studies. He went to California in 1849 and worked as a miner in Shasta County. In 1853, Hittell moved to San Francisco and became the editor writer of the San Francisco Daily Alta California newspaper. His works include: Yosemite: Its Wonders and its Beauties (1868) and The Resources of California (1879).
Hittell's Hand-book of Pacific Coast Travel
Discusses Union Pacific and Central Pacific rail routes to the West, cities, scenery, resorts, and natural history.
Nature's Mountain Mansion
Nature's Mountain Mansion is the first anthology on Yosemite that focuses exclusively on the nineteenth century, the critical period in which Yosemite was "discovered" by an expanding nation and transformed into one of the country's most visited national parks. While there are volumes that provide readings about Yosemite in the nineteenth century, few provide critical--sometimes even disparaging--eyewitness reflections on the Yosemite experience, and none include excerpts from the government documents that defined the future of the park, such as the Yosemite Valley Grant Act of 1864. This anthology collects selections from fiction, nonfiction, and government documents that demonstrate the glory, the brutality, and the controversies surrounding this extraordinary and much-loved landscape. Some selections have not appeared in print since their original publication, while others have not been republished or excerpted for decades.
An Odd Kind of Fame
The true story of the first case to reveal the relation between the brain and complex personality characteristics.
