Later edition, with date on front cover and 100 titles in the Home College Series listed on the back cover. 7" x 4.75", 36 pp, in original printed wrappers. Minor staining to front wrap, else fine. James Monroe Buckley (1836-1920) was a Methodist minister, writer, and editor who spent nearly three weeks visiting Yosemite Valley and the Calaveras and Mariposa Groves in the summer of 1871. "He was a keen observer and his descriptions of the Coulterville Trail and the pioneer hotels are quite entertaining. In addition to visiting the main points in the valley, Buckley, in the company of a Scot named Maxwell, ascended North Dome and Liberty Cap. On another excursion the two climbed from Little Yosemite Valley to within 600 feet of the summit of Mount Starr King. The same afternoon they hiked to Glacier Point and attempted a night descent to the valley floor via a gully which is now part of the Ledge Trail. Finding descent dangerous, they returned to the point and walked eight miles to Peregoy's Hotel. The next day they hiked back to Glacier Point, climbed Sentinel Dome, and returned to the valley via Sentinel Canyon" (Currey and Kruska 26). Cowan p. 82.
