DUST JACKET INTRODUCTION
Harriet Huntington adds meaning to the splendor of the Sierra Nevada and the Yosemite Valley by her explanation of the creation and development of these two natural wonders. In short, here we have a technical description of the geological history of the Sierra Nevada with special reference to the Yosemite Valley and Yosemite National Park.
But that is not all. The grandeur of the country is captured by Miss Huntington's camera, and the accurate drawings of J. Noel increase the reader's understanding of the wondrous geological processes that occurred in this part of California.
THE YOSEMITE STORY is more than a book for rock hounds, more than a guide to a national park, and more than a travel book. It is a volume to fill every reader with awe at the natural magnificence of one of the most beautiful regions on earth.
