At Robert Underwood Johnson's urging, John Muir wrote this guide book to Yosemite, assembling and rewriting material from his previous published works in order to tell visitors all about the National Park. He even seized the opportunity to include a lengthy chapter on the Hetch Hetchy Valley, mustering support for the ongoing campaign to preserve that "Tuolomne Yosemite." BAL 14767; Kimes 308.
