A Rare Book is Now Available, April 19, 2004
This review is from: The Yosemite Book (CD-ROM)
This CD-ROM has Whitney's _The Yosemite Book_ (1869). There were only 250 copies made, because the photographs were hand-printed and tipped in. The photographs are by Carleton E. Watkins, a famous early photographer of Yosemite. Also included are 2 maps published with the book, one is a map of Yosemite Valley, and the other is a map of the Sierra Nevada around Yosemite. The book is available as both images and text and can be printed out for easier reading. Other material includes unpublished maps, including one of the Tuolumnee Grove, and an excellent introduction by Yosemite Historian Jim Snyder. Highly recommended for Yosemite, Geology, and History buffs.
