Kenneyvile: Yosemite's Forgotten Village by Edward W. Wade
Before they built the Ahwahnee Hotel, the land in that area was leased by the Kenney Family. They leased the land, formerly the Lamon Homestead and ran a pack station on the property. They built a bunch of homes and shops and barns and fenced off fields for their livestock. George Kenney died. His wife sold their half of the business to the Coffmans and moved away. It's not a great story. Fortunately, it's not very well written. Basically, we leased land for fifty years and then we didn't. Then the park commission built the Ahwahnee on the property. The end.
It's a tiny book. There are few interesting photos but they are of poor quality.

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