This history of Yosemite follows it as the seat of controversy
affecting the evolution of national parks, from its path-breaking
establishment in 1864 as a grant to California, 1890 expansion into a
national park, boundary reductions and loss of the Hetch Hetchy Valley,
evolution of wildlife science, management practices threatening Yosemite
Valley, and erosion of wilderness to the present day.
