Included photographs are fresh and bright.</p><p>Rare account of a camping trip in the High Sierra undertaken by University of California professor of geology and history Joseph Le Conte in July and August 1870 accompanied by Professor Frank Soule Jr. and eight members of the student body. This was Le Conte's first trip to the Yosemite region to be followed by ten more over the next thirty years. The work is notable for the excellent photographs some featuring members of the party in the marvelous setting of Yosemite others the scenic wonders uncluttered by human presence. Farquhar speculates that the pictures were taken by "one or more of the professional photographers who operated in Yosemite Valley." There were ten members of the party and according to Joseph N. LeConte the author's son 12 copies of the book were produced for each member making a run of 120 copies in all.</p><p>Cowan 1914 p.137; Farquhar 14a; Currey & Kruska 230; Howes L175.
