    Yosemite travel album

    Visual Materials

    A travel album of snapshots and reminiscences in typescript pages documenting the camping trip of eight young women and men through Yosemite in 1909. The majority of snapshots are accompanied by captions in a contemporary hand. Views include the iconic Yosemite waterfalls, redwood trees, and geologic features, and show the group hiking, relaxing, riding burros, and cooking at the campground. The album begins with a two-page whimsical poem titled "To Yosemite" about preparing for the trip, and is signed Renette Felt. The back of the album has a nine-page typescript travelogue titled "Snapshots About Camp" (unsigned; presumably by Felt), followed by a three-page typescript titled "A Knocker's View of the Yosemite Trip or a Few Bum Jokes," signed by William H. Hughes, one of the travelers.
