The Yosemite National Park how its boundaries have been trimmed and its forests logged off ... [caption title]. [New Haven, Conn. Willard G. Van Name, January 1924.]. 27.5 cm, pp. [1] 2-7 [8: blank], 3 maps, self wrappers, stapled. First edition. Van Name was critical of the "loosely drawn laws" (Acts of Congress of April 9, 1912 and April 16, 1914) to allow exchange of government timber lands. He attacked the National Park Service proposal to trade approximately 30,000 acres of timber land along the western boundary of Yosemite National Park for an equal amount of national forest land on the eastern side (Ritter Range-Devils Postpile region) which had been part of the park prior to the boundary adjustment of 1905. Van Name claimed that the Yosemite Lumber Company constructed logging railroads and felled trees within the park and appealed for action to halt present and proposed timber exploitation in Yosemite. A very good copy. Bancroft Library duplicate stamp at upper fore-edge corner. (#168581).
