Publisher Comments:

This reprint of the single most important original source regarding the early history of Yosemite Valley was long out of print. Written by the medical officer of the Mariposa Battalion, the first group of Euro-Americans ever to enter Yosemite Valley, the book chronicles a number of key historical events beginning in 1851 including discovery, the Yosemite Indian conflicts, the naming of various landmarks and more. And what makes it so valuable is Dr. Bunnell's first-person perspective.

Yosemite Indians, May 28, 2006 (view all comments by Yosemite Indians)
The Original is always best.

This book is the best account of "first contact". This book clearifies that the original Indians of Yosemite were Mono Paiutes and not Miwoks like the Yosemite National Park has been telling people. That is why if you are interesting in the history of Yosemite get the orinigal book.

The original book has how Chief Tenaya was a really the founder of the Paiute colony of Ahwahnee, that he spoke Paiute, that the Mono Paiutes considered Tenaya and his band one of their own, that the Miwoks were really afraid of Chief Tenaya and his band and more.

It is a great historical account and for the real story of the Indians of Yosemite people this is the one and only book that needs to be read.
