Indians of the Yosemite by Galen Clark Published in 1907
Galen Clark is an interesting figure in the annals of the park but I haven't come across a lot of information despite reading a biography of him. According to the introduction of this book, Clark was urged to write it because he was one of the people who knew most about the Indians at that time. He was urged to write other books about things he knew but they never came to fruition.
Most of the information in the book wasn't new to me. I have read the tales of Tenaya in other books. I did get a better idea of where the reservation lies where all the Indians were sequestered once they surrendered. There were a few Indian folk tales Clark recounted and I did enjoy those. I need to start working the Indian names for places in the park into conversation.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
