Book excerpt: Yosemite initially called a "public park," evolved to inspire the national park idea and ranks today among the ten most visited national parks, while standing alone for the length of its history. John Muir, eloquently setting the stage, described Yosemite as "a great life-long landscape fortune," sadly to add, as its wilderness dwindled: "Nothing dollarable is safe, however guarded." The struggle of 150 years continues, now fully updated in this timeless book. Book jacket.
