ROCKLIN, Calif., Oct. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A new anthology, entitled Nature's Mountain Mansion: Wonder, Wrangles, Bloodshed and Bellyaching from Nineteenth-Century Yosemite, chronicles the often-surprising history of Yosemite in the 19th century. The book, edited by Gary Noy and published by the University of Nebraska Press, Sierra College history instructor, 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. That is, until now – with Nature's Mountain Mansion.
