Basically in the lecture it would show all the many different species of amphibians and reptiles in the Sierra and Central Valley. The one that caught my eye was the newts. I just think they are interesting little creatures and I found out that their bodies contain toxins so because of that they don't have many predators.

“There is a dark underside here that will not be erased by just saying Muir was a racist,” White tells the AP. “I would leave Muir’s name on things but explain that, as hard as it may be to accept, it is not just Muir who was racist. The way we created the wilderness areas we now rightly prize was racist.”

John muir is a hero because he has contributed in society and also taken many risks and has been recognized for extraordinary actions.

Yocelin Marroquín

I don’t think John Muir should be criticize. He probably said something that people don’t like, but he sabe Yosemite a beautiful place that people can visit.

John Muir- Daniel Hernandez-Garcia

2022-02-08 21:26:44 UTC

Even though John Muir said some highly racist and offensive things his words never lead to any discriminatory actions. John Muir was a victim of his time. In the 1800s it was a widely spread idea that Whites were superior. To shame and discredit someone who grew up surrounded by this ideology in the 19th Century and holding them to 21st century standards is highly absurd. Labeling him a racist even goes against some of his own writings. "He wrote of the Winnebago people “being robbed of their lands and pushed ruthlessly back into narrower and narrower limits by alien races who were cutting off their means of living." He also wrote in 1876 calling for everyone to receive vacation time, “men, women and children of every creed and color from every nation under the sun.”

John Muir's Views deserve modern criticism? -Carlos yepez

2022-02-08 21:26:55 UTC

I Don't think John muir's deserves modern criticism because for the main reason that he was in a completely different time more or else than we are But we should instead opinionize and learn from what's was wrong from john muir views because we can't just erase the racist remarks on what he made instead we can learn and understand why his remarks are bad instead of trying to erase him from history

John Muir's

jsantos206077 — 2022-02-08 21:27:49 UTC

I think that John Muir's does not deserve modern criticism because that's just how people talked back then and just because its wrong in today's society means that he meant what he said in a bad way.
-Jose.s

John Muir- Michael Cortez

2022-02-08 21:32:32 UTC

I don't believe he should deserve the modern criticism because back then was a different time when things were different. He grew up to things that are very not normal. In society back then people were like that so I believe he doesn't deserve the criticism people give him today.

John Muir does not deserve modern criticism nowadays many people are really sensitive with almost any topics. So them bringing back some things he said they like to pick at some things that maybe weren't the best things he could have said but they totally dismiss any good this man has also said.

I don't think that John Muir should be erased from the history of Yosemite, while he did make statements against Native Americans, at the time it was a very common thought process as well as a very well received thought. Obviously now we can see that it is wrong to view the Native Americans in the same way he did, but even then he was one of the founders of Yosemite and should be respected for his accomplishments. -Jose Maciel

Summary - Christian C -John Muir

ccarranza207129 — 2022-02-08 22:11:35 UTC

I don't think john muir should be from the history of Yosemite, all the statements that he may have mad could've just been with anger that he already had. He is also one of one of the founders of Yosemite and had many accommplishments.

John Muir

2022-02-08 22:15:16 UTC

I don't think john muir don't deserve the hat that he gets. I say this because back then days where different then the era we live in now. Now a days people will dig up any information they can get their hands on to ruin your reputation. At the end of the day we should be glad that yosemite park is still there. Period 7-Fernando A

John Muir - Jimmy Medina

2022-02-08 22:15:49 UTC

I say does not deserve to be canceled. I say this because where the time he was in it was normal. Even tough the things he said were messed up we should criticism him because some of us get 🤬 hurt when someone from a long time ago. Plus without him their won't be Sierra Nevada club and if you kick him out then the club goes with him. So, don't be 🤬 hurt for someone that said bad things and did good things at the same time.

Steven C.

2022-02-08 22:17:58 UTC

I don't think John Muir should be removed from the history of Yosemite because of a common belief at the time. Times have changed.

John Muir - Valeria Recinos

vrecinos207019 — 2022-02-08 22:19:14 UTC

I don't think John Muir should be completely gone from history. he played a big part in history and is the founder of Yosemite. I agree, the things he said are completely wrong and shouldn't have been said. But things were completely different back in the past than they are now. he grew up in a different life that wasn't normal. times are now different then they were in the past.

John Muir - Yajahira Delgado

ydelgadohernandez206171 — 2022-02-08 22:23:49 UTC

John Muir doesn't deserve to be modernly criticized. Our current state of societal perspectives have caused many to be against an individual for past issues. We must understand that he was surrounded by constant racism, which was seen to be a normality. It's best if we recognize that his racist remarks aren't to be repeated and that the past had a different viewpoint. He deserves to still be recognized as a founder of Yosemite and for his remarkable accomplishments.

John Muir - Genesis Torres Flores

gtorresflores206099 — 2022-02-09 17:12:05 UTC

Although I am a bit conflicted, I don't believe that John Muir should be completely removed from history. Everyone had been exposed to and surrounded by racism, that being deemed as the norm back in and being influenced to believe those racist remarks are understandable because of it. Said remarks aren't completely excusable and shouldn't go ignored just because it was a different time, but his accomplishments shouldn't be erased from history either.

Early Tourism to Yosemite

mlabuguen503593 — 2022-02-28 21:26:42 UTC

In 1855, entrepreneur James Mason Hutchings, artist Thomas Ayres, and two others were the first to tour the area.

In October 1875, George Anderson was the first man to climb Half Dome. Although many had tried to scale the summit before him, Anderson laboriously drilled holes for spikes up the backside to its peak.

Settler Galen Clark discovered the Mariposa Grove of giant sequoia in Wawona in 1857.

The Wawona Tree, also known as the Tunnel Tree, was a famous giant sequoia that stood in the Mariposa Grove.

Hard-working pioneers, Bridget and John Degnan, journeyed to California in 1884 to build a life in the picturesque Yosemite Valley. The Irish couple, arriving with an infant son in their arms, took on available employment to provide for their family. John worked steadily as a laborer for the administrators of the 1864 state grant that set aside the Valley and the Mariposa Grove, but it was Bridget who became the family’s breadwinner, of sorts. Her baking skills not only nourished her family of 10 but also an entire community for more than 50 years.

The Curry Company had been started in 1899 by David and Jennie Curry to provide concessions in the park. They also founded Camp Curry, formerly known as Half Dome Village

Galen Clark was appointed by the commission as Grant's first guardian, but neither Clark nor the commissioners had the authority to evict homesteaders (which included Hutchings). The issue was not settled until 1872 when the homesteader land holdings were invalidated by the U.S. Supreme Court. Clark and the reigning commissioners were ousted in 1880, this dispute also reaching the Supreme Court in 1880.

The National Park Service was formed in 1916, and Yosemite was transferred to that agency's jurisdiction.

After visiting Yellowstone, Steven Mather, founder of Borax, was unhappy with how the park was being run.

Mather believed the best way to protect America’s landscapes from destruction was to emphasize their economic potential as tourist attractions. He feared that if people didn’t visit the parks, they could be dismissed by the government and commercial interests as disposable resources, as happened to Yosemite’s Hetch Hetchy valley, which was permitted by Lane to be flooded for a reservoir

In 1871, before Yosemite became a National Park, an Irish immigrant named James McCauley hired John Conway to build the Four Mile Trail from Yosemite Valley, where McCauley lived, to Glacier Point. When the trail was completed, McCauley built a small hotel called the Glacier Point Mountain House. McCauley and his wife Barbara operated the hotel during the summer months. In 1883, James McCauley sent for his niece, Elizabeth McCauley, to come from Ireland and help with the hotel. McCauley's son Fred had an apple orchard just outside the park. His twin brother John told Ranger-Naturalist Bob Fry in 1961 that the Firefall began spontaneously one day. James McCauley often made a large campfire for his guests on the point of the granite cliff that jutted out over the valley. All would sit around the fire and talk. At the end of the evening, McCauley would kick the glowing coals over the edge of the cliff. People in the valley were fascinated by the falling embers and mentioned it to McCauley's sons.

In 1899 David Curry established Camp Curry in Yosemite Valley. Soon he heard visitors reminiscing about the Firefall when McCauley ran the hotel at Glacier Point. Sometime in the early 1900s, Curry reestablished the Firefall during the summer season, when guests were at Camp Curry. He sent his employees to build a fire on the point and push it off on special occasions.

During World War II the Firefall was canceled. Some people in both the National Park Service and the Yosemite Park and Curry Company hoped that it would not be continued after the war. The NPS considered it an unnatural event in a natural area, and the task of presenting the Firefall each night was burdensome to YPCC. Employees drove trucks farther to find the red fir bark because they were allowed to collect it only from trees that were dead and down. Before the Firefall ended, they were going as far as the Tioga Road.

John Muir - Matthew Bresnyan

2022-02-28 21:29:56 UTC

John Muir is not deserving of modern criticism. Many people have turned against an individual because of prior troubles due to the current state of societal attitudes. We must understand that he was constantly surrounded by racism, which was accepted as usual. It's great if we acknowledge that his racist words will not be repeated and that there was a time when we had a different perspective. He deserves to be remembered as one of Yosemite's founders and for his extraordinary achievements.

Early Tourism- Daniel Hernandez

Superintendent Mather thought the only way to protect America's landscapes was to show the potential economic impact it would have caused by tourism. Mather lobbied his friends to repair a private road which was later donated to the park. With funding from Mather and railroad companies photos of Yosemite were spread throughout the country promoting yosemite and it's beauty selling over 3 million copies it's first year published

John Muir- Carlos Yepez

2022-03-05 17:54:19 UTC

John Muir isn't deserving of modern criticism. When he was born Segregation was still going on. Which resulted in the ideas he was exposed to growing up. We could use his ideas as a history lesson because ideas and the way of think was more different than what we have today in this modern world. No one is perfect we depend on unrealistic ideals with historical they make mistakes or they have ideas that everyone today would disagree no one is perfect.

CCC- Daniel Hernandez

2022-03-29 20:21:41 UTC

When FDR became president unemployment was nearly 25%. FDR had brought up an idea that would become reality which was to employ young people as the environmental army of tree planters, forest firefighters and soil conservationists. The men, mostly uneducated and untrained had been paid $30 a month. At it's peak 500,000 men at 2,600 camps across the nation. Over the course of it's duration CCC members would create new national and state parks, and make existing ones more accessible by paving roads, cutting trails, and building cabins and campsites. Modern day national parks wouldn't be they way they are without the CCC.

jsantos206077 — 2022-03-29 20:29:43 UTC

The CCC is a program that president Roosevelt established to help national state park. The CC planted 3.5 billion tree's. It created 711 state parks. It spent 6.5 million days fighting wildfires along with building 3,000 fire lookout towers.

Jimmy Medina- The CCC

jmedina205968 — 2022-03-29 21:15:29 UTC

During the great Depression President Roosevelt establish a group to help the national state parks. The CCC had around 500,000 men at 2,600 camps across the country. They were the ones in charge of making the trails, cabins, roads, and campsites. And they created 711 state parks.

During the Great Depression, unemployment rates had been at their peak, nearing 25%. With these high numbers came the singing of the Federal Unemployment Relief Act, which allowed several young men to join the CCC and receive $30 as a monthly wage. With an influx of new employees, the CCC was able to plant 3.5 billion trees, created 711 state parks, fought fires, built fire lookout towers, launched the American ski industry, and various other accomplishments were met. If it hadn't been for the CCC's work, modern day national parks would have a fairly different way of life to them.

The CCC

mlabuguen503593 — 2022-03-30 20:14:20 UTC

When Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn in as president in 1933, he took the helm of a United States brought to its knees by the Great Depression. On March 31, 1933, FDR signed the Federal Unemployment Relief Act, which recruited healthy unmarried young men to join what would become known as the Civilian Conservation Corps or CCC. At its peak in 1935, the CCC enrolled 500,000 men at 2,600 camps across the country. The Department of Interior put CCC recruits to work expanding the country’s nascent national and state park systems. While a number of major national parks existed in 1933—Yellowstone and Yosemite date back to the 19th century—there were still several states without a single state park, including Virginia, West Virginia, South Carolina, Mississippi and New Mexico. During the nine years that the CCC was operational, the annual acreage of U.S. forest lost to fire sunk to its lowest point ever, despite the fact that a record number of forest fires were reported. That’s because tens of thousands of young CCC enrollees were employed as either full-time or emergency firefighters.

During the Great Depression, while employment rates were fluctuating, Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn in as president. FDR signed the Federal Unemployment Relief Act in order to form the Civilian Conservation Corps. This was to provide employment for families suffering from a lack of money. The CCC has made several accomplishments such as planting 3.5 billion trees, creating 711 state parks, spending 6.5 million days fighting fires, and building more than 3,000 fire lookout towers. They even launched the American ski industry and got their first ski runs in the 1930s. Their most outstanding achievement rebuilding the stairway ascending the eastern face of Half Dome.

On March 31 1933 Franklin D Roosevelt signed the federal unemployment Relief act. It recruited Men who are not married to join the CCC (Civilian Conservation Corps). The popular New Deal program was phased out by 1942 as the same young enrollees enlisted for World War II. Planting trees could also help combat the rampant soil erosion that contributed to environmental disasters like the Dust Bowl. In total, there were 194 CCC work camps in 94 national parks and 697 camps in 881 state and local parks across the US.

The Legacy in Yosemite- The CCC camps in Yosemite National Park have completed numerous significant improvements that we can still see today. They also constructed view areas at Glacier Point, Henness Ridge, Crane Flat Lookout, and North Mountain Lookout towers, and many more. They have made many beautiful view areas in many different places. This has caused many young men who joined the Civilian Conservation Corps, learn skills like craftsmanship that would become useful later on in their ives.

In 1933 FDR sent help to many National parks in the US during the Great Depression when unemployment was close to 25%. The CCC was created by Franklin D Roosevelt to employ young people as an environmental army of tree planters, forest firefighters, and soil conservationists. Most of these men were uneducated and untrained they were paid $30 dollars and $25 dollars were sent to their families. At its peak in 1935, the CCC enrolled 500,000 men at 2,600 camps across the country. The popular New Deal program was phased out by 1942 as the same young enrollees enlisted for World War II. Planting trees would not only restore a vital economic resource, but it could combat the rampant soil erosion that contributed to environmental disasters like the Dust Bowl. The CCC built more than 3,000 fire lookout towers and created 711 state parks as well as spending 6.5 million days fighting fires. Downhill skiing was not a thing in America in the 1920s. There simply weren’t any dedicated ski trails, let alone conveniences like rope tows or ski lifts. But thanks to the CCC and a forward-thinking forestry official in Vermont, America got its first ski runs in the 1930s.

In 1933, FDR had officiated and signed the Federal Relief Act. This act initiated that all men who were unmarried and healthy to join the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC). The CCC was set in order to "rescue a lost generation and restore the nation's squandered natural wealth". The CCC had successfully strengthened forestry and the overall growth of National Parks. Whether this was planting trees or fire prevention, this organization of young men had left a significant mark in history.

What I learned was that during the Great Depression FDR signed the Federal Unemployment Relief Act, which recruited healthy unmarried young men to join what would become known as the Civilian Conservation Corps or CCC which also enrolled 500,000 men at 2,600 camps across the country. Over the 9-year run of the CCC, a total of 2 million CCC workers labored to create new national and state parks and in total there were 194 CCC work camps in 94 national parks and 697 camps in 881 state and local parks across the US. Due to outbreaks of fires, tens of thousands of young CCC enrollees were employed as either full-time or emergency firefighters, leading them to construct more than 3,000 lookout towers.

2023-03-27 18:03:21 UTC

When Franklin D. Roosevelt was sworn in as president in 1933, he took the helm of a United States brought to its knees by the Great Depression. During this time there was unemployment as high as 25 percent, millions were out of work and young people had lost hope in their futures. On March 31, 1933, FDR signed the Federal Unemployment Relief Act, which recruited healthy unmarried young men to join what would become known as the Civilian Conservation Corps or CCC. At its peak in 1935, the CCC enrolled 500,000 men at 2,600 camps across the country. These are some of CCC accomplishments, the Department of Interior put CCC recruits to work expanding the country’s national and state park systems. Over a 9 year run of CCC enrolled 2 million workers to create new national and state parks, and make existing ones more accessible by paving roads, cutting trails, and building cabins and campsites. Also some of the CCC men built 3,000 or more fire towers around forest’s land. Lots of men were assigned to cut down trucks , make new trails. Then in the 1930s the CCC and a forestry official in Vermont were thinking of making a ski resort, even though skiing was not in America at this time. Then over the years more and more people started to ski and by the late 1930s Americans started to fall in love with skiing.

The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) was a New Deal program that provided jobs to young, unemployed men while focusing on environmental conservation. Key accomplishments included planting over 3 billion trees, improving national parks, controlling soil erosion, contributing to flood control, and preserving wildlife habitats. It also offered skills training to its workers, benefiting both the environment and the men involved.

Joanna Madrigal - Period 2 -Railroads and Logging of the Central Sierra

Back in the early 1900s, getting to Yosemite was a total nightmare because it took two days in a dusty horse wagon. The Yosemite Valley Railroad changed everything in 1907 by making it a fast and comfy train ride from Merced to El Portal. It was a huge deal for the logging industry and even carried presidents like Taft and FDR. Companies used monster trains like the Shay and Engine 10 to haul massive sugar pine trees down steep mountain tracks. They even built a 60 mile wooden water slide called a flume that helped start the town of Madera. Eventually, cars and the Great Depression killed off the railroad by 1945, turning busy logging spots like Central Camp and Merced Falls into ghost towns. You can still see the history today because my own great-grandpa Floyd Nelson even bought a cabin at Central Camp and took the Whiskers Camp sign for it. Plus, when Lake McClure gets low during a drought, the old train tunnels actually pop back up out of the water.
