Description: Americas spectacular Yosemite was
indeed a dream for those who moved to California from the
east in search of new land abundant with furs in the Sierras,
and rumor had it gold. The first settlers were trappers,
traders and adventurers who blazed and mapped dangerous
passages through the Sierras. Many must have paused, in awe
with sight of the mighty and spectacular Yosemite waterfall.
In the border cartouches, a frontiersman and native American
Indian view the scene whose habitat included the deer and bear
(shown at the top and bottom).
