Pub Title:
The Yosemite Guide-Book: A Description of the Yosemite Valley and the Adjacent Region of the Sierra Nevada, and of the Big Trees of California. With Two Maps. Geological Survey of California. J.D. Whitney, State Geologist. Published by Authority of the Legislature. 1871.
Pub Reference:
Currey & Kruska 61; Howes W389; Cowen p699; Graff 4646; Wheat 1194.
Pub Note:
Apparently at least the second pocket edition because both maps are dated 1872 and one is colored, whereas in our Pub List No. 5903.000, a volume dated 1871, both are black and white and dated 1871. Published as an inexpensive ($1) and convenient guide to Yosemite Valley and the Big Trees. It was popular. The text and Valley map are based on "The Yosemite Book" of 1868 and the full-sized edition of "The Yosemite Guide-Book".
