Yosemite Guardian
by Shirley Sargent
Galen Clark was so well known for his dedication and devotion to Yosemite as a pioneer, explorer, conservationist, author, and guardian that he was almost as famous as Half Dome. By the middle of the twentieth century, however, his valuable contributions had largely faded from public memory.
John Muir has become a folk hero, yet Clark, who was Muir's predecessor in Yosemite by twelve years and was far more intimate with its affairs, has been neglected. It was he who discovered the Mariposa Grove, kept peace with the Indians, superintended the building of trails, roads, and bridges, and zealously protected the place he described as ". . . this wonderful sanctuary of Nature's vast mountain temple." (From the Foreword by Shirley Sargent.
