	Yosemite National Park - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many Yosemite glaciers, including Merced Glacier, which was discovered by John Muir in 1871 and bolstered his glacial origins theory of the Yosemite area, have disappeared and most of the others have lost up to 75% of their surface area (Geology of U.S. Parklands, page 228).
		The area of the park has a Mediterranean climate, meaning almost all yearly precipitation normally falls during mild winter and the other seasons are nearly dry (less than 3% of precipitation falls in the typically long, hot summers).
		Muir was one of the first to theorize that the major landforms in Yosemite were created by large alpine glaciers, bucking established scientists such as Josiah Whitney, who regarded Muir as an amateur.

	Tinkham Chapter XVI
		John Conness came to the defense of Edgerton and it caused a sensation (d).
		Conness was his backer, and he so endeavored to "gerrymander" the districts as to elect legislators favorable to Low.
		Conness remarked that Laspyre had used "unparliamentary and discourteous language in speaking of a member of another house." Laspyre replied, "You tell what is false." Conness then replied, "You are a dirty dog." An inkstand then flew at Conness' head.

	How the U.S. Cavalry Saved Our National Parks (Chapter 1)
		John Mix Stanley had accompanied as photographer one of the several government surveys sent out to determine a route for the Pacific railroad, and John C. Fremont's Utah expedition of 1854 included the Baltimore painter turned photographer, S. Carvalho.
		On March 28, 1864, the California Senator, John Conness, introduced into the Senate a bill providing that the Yosemite Valley and the area embracing the "Mariposa Big Tree Grove" be granted to the state of California, on condition that the area "shall be held for public use, resort, and recreation.
		It was Raymond who, on February 20, 1864, wrote to Senator Conness, enclosing some "views" of the Valley and stating that he thought "it important to obtain the proprietorship soon, to prevent occupation and especially to preserve the trees in the valley from destruction," and advocated the passage of the necessary legislation by Congress.

	Mother of the Forest
		In the words of national park historian John Ise, Yellowstone was "so dramatic a departure from the general public land policy of Congress that it seemed almost a miracle." Prior to the creation of Yellowstone, there had been two other instances of U.S. governmental protection of wild or unusual lands.
		One congressman asked Conness about the size of the property, and he was told the Mariposa Big Tree Area, as it was called, was "about a mile." Conness also said that "certain gentlemen in California, gentlemen of fortune, of taste, of refinement" suggested the bill to him.
		Conness did not name the gentlemen, but it is likely that state geologist J.D. Whitney, Judge Stephen Field, Professor John F. Morse, businessman Israel Ward Raymond and landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted (designer of New York's Central Park) were among them.

	Yosemite: The Cavalry Years
		In an attempt to reclaim the land and place it as public domain, California Senator John Conness, in 1864, introduced a bill in the United States Senate that would place the land under the protection of California.
		Recalling this piece of legislation, Secretary of the Interior John W. Noble requested that the Secretary of War send troops of cavalry to patrol the newly established Yosemite National Park.
		John Muir and others had favored a recession since 1895, and when President Theodore Roosevelt visited Yosemite in 1903, Muir persuaded him to use his office to give the grants back to the federal government.

	Yosemite and Yellowstone
		A group of concerned Californians lobbied Senator John Conness to introduce a bill to protect the valley and the nearby Sierra redwoods from rampant exploitation and abuse so that they might "be used and preserved for the benefit of mankind" (USDI 1991: 10).
		With the shame of Niagara haunting the thoughts of what could become of Yosemite, the idea received much popular support, but dissenters were quick to express their objections to the removal of the forty-square-mile valley and the nearby Mariposa grove of redwoods from public domain.
		Conness adopted Raymond's terminology, and the act, signed on June 30, 1864, by President Lincoln declares that Yosemite Valley would "be held for public use, resort, and recreation...inalienable for all time" (USDI 1991: 10).

		Due to the enormous pressures of the Civil War, Conness encouraged the group to draft their own bill, which he could then send through the General Land Office and on to Congress.
		John Muir felt that the state commission was guilty of poor management of the Yosemite Grant and believed that federal protection was needed.
		In October 1890, due largely to the efforts of John Muir and Robert Underwood Johnson, over 1,400 square miles of the Tuolumne River watershed and the Ritter Range became the Yosemite Forest Reservation.

	Saddlebag Lake & Mt. Conness Backpack Trip
		At the edge of the Sierra Crest, sandwiched between Yosemite National Park and the Hoover Wilderness, this area is noted for Mt. Conness, the Conness Glacier and for being dotted with dozens of beautiful mountain lakes.
		To reach the Conness Lakes it is necessary to climb a large granite bench with a spectacular 100ft water fall cascading down its face.
		Fly-fishing was slow at the Conness Lakes so Joe Wolzen and Bernie decided to climb to the Conness Glacier.

		With this aim in mind, Conness supporters in the legislature of 1863-64 introduced a bill to gerrymander San Francisco to insure the election of Conness men to the legislature of 1865-66, which would elect a new senator.
		His political opponents accused Conness of giving control of San Francisco to the “boys,” or “Short-hairs,” former Democrats, who now that the Union was saved, “eagerly returned to the pursuit of politics as a trade.” Union-Republicans who opposed Conness were called “Long-hairs,” and were led by John Bidwell and Cornelius Cole.
		On July 15, 1865, however, John Conness had told a Placerville audience, “There are a great many of our people, and very good people, too, who think the vote of a loyal fl man carries in it and with it more security than the vote of a white rebel.

		In view of Gorham’s past political dealings, and those that were to come, his concern for the Chinese seems the least credible reason for his stand—yet he must have realized it was a politically risky one.

		Gorham shall have procured his ‘abundance of cheap labor,’ and cheap votes, John Chinaman and our sable man and brother will hold the balance of power in the Northern and Pacific states.” Enthusiastic crowds greeted the Democratic speakers; in Mendocino County supporters held a celebration and fired a cannon in William Holden’s honor.
