This is a genuine first edition of Handbook of Yosemite National Park, compiled and edited by Ansel F. Hall, the first Chief Naturalist of the U.S. National Park Service. Hall’s Handbook was the first comprehensive natural history guide to Yosemite, uniting scientific research on the park’s geology, flora, fauna, and management practices.
This copy is personally signed and inscribed by Hall and dated “Yosemite Valley, May 19, 1922.”
Inscription reads:
“To Mr. G. R. Kimball,
with the cordial good wishes of
Ansel F. Hall
Yosemite Valley, May 19, 1922.”
Signed Yosemite Valley copies are exceptionally scarce and highly sought after by collectors of National Park Service history, early American conservation literature, and California natural history.
