  Notes on a trip to Yosemite Valley

  Manuscripts

  This manuscript is a collection of observations by Brantz Mayer concerning the Yosemite Valley. Written on a variety of sizes of paper, the majority of these being printed stationary for A. L. Bancroft & Company, these notes are largely descriptive with a poetic bent. Many are titled, such as "Yosemite Silence & Seclusion," "Yosemite's Water," "Yosemite Power of Perspective," and "Yosemite & Big Trees." Mayer writes in glowing fashion of the majesty of the meadows, mountains, and people of the area, and declares its overall beauty "unphotographable." Also included is a one-page printed pamphlet advertising a newly opened trail from Yosemite to Glacier Point, which proclaims "When you have been to GLACIER POINT you have seen the Yosemite Valley." The pamphlet also contains altitude measurements at various Yosemite Valley waterfalls, which are described by both Indian and American names.
