 Yosemite History: Frederick Law Olmsted, Landscape Architect
Olmsted read the Report to his fellow Commissioners at a meeting in the Yosemite Valley on August 9, 1865; ultimately intended for presentation to the state legislature, it met with indifference or hostility from other members of the Commission, and was quietly suppressed.
Olmsted himself left California for good at the end of 1865; he had arrived there just a little more than two years before to assume responsibilities as Superintendent for the Mariposa Mining Estate.
Olmsted scholar Laura Wood Roper surmised that Olmsted had removed that portion of the Report in order to incorporate it in the letter; her explanation has been generally accepted by other scholars, and a typescript of the relevant portion of the letter is accordingly included here as part of the Report’s transcription."
