    Like the depression-era tenant farmers found in James Agee and Walker Evans’ book Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Edith Irvine could bear the ironic title of “let us now praise famous women.” Certainly her photographic efforts were largely unknown, except possibly to family and friends, until their donation to the Brigham Young University, Harold B. Lee Library Archives in February 1988. Jim Irvine, Edith’s nephew, son of her older brother Robert, donated 16 prints and 275 glass...

    [Author: Leroy Radanovich] [Pages: 128] [ISBN: 0738531421] [Pub. Date: 2006]

    Product Description

    The astonishing scenery of Yosemite National Park is known throughout the world, primarily for the soaring granite outcroppings and graceful waterfalls around Yosemite Valley. But this park is much larger than just the valley. Relatively few visitors get to experience Yosemite's vast expanses, whether south to Wawona and Fish Camp or east to White Wolf and Tuolumne Meadows. Indeed, it was John Muir's efforts to protect the meadows and hills around the valley that ultimately led to the establishment of Yosemite National Park in 1890. The state park, which had been established in 1863 and consisted of Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Big Trees, was added to the federal park in 1913.
