About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of One Hundred Years In Yosemite: The Story Of A Great Park And Its Friends by Carl Parcher Russell. Read in English by David Wales. This recording of the 1931 (1947 second edition) book about Yosemite National Park comprises the narrative text about the Park from its discovery by non-natives in the Indian War of 1851 to the mid-twentieth century. The printed book contains dozens of early photographs and drawings, as well as an extensive timeline and bibliography, which are not here recorded. The author (1894-1967) was an ecologist, historian, and administrator. He was an officer of the U.S. National Park Service for thirty four years, serving as the Chief Naturalist of Yosemite from 1923-1929 and later as Park Superintendent. - Summary by David Wales
