Historic Resource Study. Yosemite: The Park and Its Resources. A History of the Discovery, Management, and Physical Development of Yosemite National Park, California. Volume 1. Historical Narrative

摘要

The purpose of the historic resource study is to evaluate sites and structures not studied previously and resolve their status in terms of National Register criteria. Those structures are primarily at Hawone, in Section 35, at the park's south entrance station, in El Portal, and in the backcountry. The writer also addressed those park structures identified in earlier studies as needing additional historical data for evaluation purposes. In addition, the study attempts to provide a thematic framework, or contextual background, within which any additional potentially significant sites in the backcountry or on private landholdings can be evaluated.
