Book excerpt: Specially selected from the extensive collection of the Yosemite Museum, these twenty full-color postcards are exact reproductions of vintage Yosemite views from the original cards. They represent a variety of historic locations, activities, and individuals from the park's fascinating past. The varied images are printed on sturdy white card stock, and their backs are divided with plenty of room for messages to friends or family members and mailing addresses. The book can be used to stay in touch, to share Yosemite's history, or to step back in time for a glimpse of earlier days in the park. Among the subjects of the cards are the Fire Fall, Arch Rock, Yosemite Lodge, the Yosemite Valley Railroad, Overhanging Rock, the Mariposa Grove, and Camp Curry. There also are images of Native American residents, as well as views of waterfalls and major landmarks. This is a nice collection of Yosemite nostalgia with historical authenticity.

Book excerpt: A mere utterance of the word aYosemitea conjures up images of Half Dome, El Capitan, giant sequoias, and the unmatched beauty this northern California park has to offer. However, the area known today as Yosemite has not always been a place of tranquility. Once the home of Ahwahnee tribe, these Native Americans were forced to surrender their home to armed miners rushing for gold and a California government clutching the philosophy of Manifest Destiny.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following the establishment of Rocky Mountain National Park in 1915, promotional campaigns generated by the railroads lured wealthy travelers to the park with images of the great outdoors and the many luxuries offered by the finest hotels. Postcards were circulated proclaiming the park as the "Playground of the World." The gateway communities of Estes Park and Grand Lake became vibrant hospitality centers, and in 1920, when the two towns were connected with the opening of Fall River Road, a new era of tourism was introduced that continues today. More than 200 postcards are used in this book to provide a chronology of the early hotels, ranches, and other settings that have shaped the park's history for more than a century.
