First edition of a noted photographically illustrated early guide to Yosemite. A significant early guide book to the Yosemite Valley by a professor of Zoology at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Kneeland took pains to get reliable information and present it with more than ordinary care. The photographic illustrations are excellent and include some unusual views (Farquhar).
