Muybridge photos and map not present. The first edition of the first guide book to Yosemite. Though sparse on original material, making liberal use of descriptions of the Yosemite region by J.D. Whitney and early tourist accounts by Samuel Bowles, Horace Greeley, Thomas Starr King and others, the book is still a landmark work as the first book intended as a guide to Yosemite to be available to the public. Howes H542; Cowan p.284; Farquhar 8.
