Thank you for your worthy efforts of preserving this historical vision of Yosemite in all of its timeless glory! Jonathan, I really appreciate your efforts in preserving the lives of the early mountain people, native Americans, and protectors. Well done...
This was amazing. That’s for creating this 😊
Thank you for the history. I live next to it and know it well, but I obviously didn’t know a lot of history you presented.
I did half dome yesterday and found this masterpiece. Thank you so much for the history. Now I feel the valley I looked at from top totally differently.
I was there about a month ago, first time with my family. It's astonishing beauty remains with us. Thank you for your historical documentary.
Nice to see a good documentary about this topic. Thanks for doing it Johnathan.
Awesome documentary about the valley 👍👏👏
As a self described Yosemite “nerd”, I try to read or watch as much as I can about Yosemite as Ai can. Congratulations on a great documentary, I leaned a lot! Example, clarifying that Walker party never saw The Valley. I would love to see you take on NPS, Hetch Hetchy or Curry Company. Thanks!
Glad to see I’m not the only human being who can’t get those mountains out of my mind
Beautiful land
Love it, when is part 2 dropping ?
The Hosmers ruined my life..
Them over in Murphy’s..
I have Yosemite to remember them by.
It’s bitter sweet.
Great video. I will go on July. A couple of questions. Which places are this minutes? 6:20, 7:42 and 8:20. Thanks in advance
Inspiration Point. just above the Wawona Tunnel. Just west of the town called Foresta on a tall peak where the Yosemite K9 Kennels are. The last one is hard to tell due to the creative liberties arts took back then in natural areas. Could perhaps be Hetch Hetchy before it was dammed or completely unrelated to Yosemite. I don't know.
Good park history except the Hetch Hetchy is entirely omitted - hard to believe it’s an oversight
What’s the hetch hetchy?
Hetch hetchy is the valley in Yosemite park.
It’s the reservoir that was dammed up that provides water to San Francisco. Supposedly the area underneath the reservoir is similar to Yosemite valley. It was called hetch hetchy valley. It’s crazy they were able to make a reservoir in a national park. Many newspapers and citizens were against it as they knew it would destroy the area. Instead congress passed the raker act in 1913 which allowed the dam to be built.
@@johnmedina5399 It was built in response to the 1906 San Francisco Quake and the water shortage prior to the Quake that lead to slow responses in putting out the fires. That's what got the funding for damming Hetch Hetchy. It's a shame but, I understand why they did it then. Bad Sacramento politics why it remains in light of better engineering since.
The history of the violence and death are not covered here really. The First Nations people knew the danger.
Jonathan, Would love to touch base with you.
3:25-sorry, but the Californian Indians did not have horses
