[Click to View YouTube Video]Relatively unspoiled footage here.
In '36 the campers were limited to one month's stay. Hmph!!

Nice find, Brian!
Royal Robbins was one year old when that short film was made.

Very fine old autos, here, in the heyday of auto tourism following the opening of the All-Weather Highway, the 140.
Great view of Illillouette Falls at 7:00 minutes.
Roy, these antique videos keep popping up "automatically" on my Youtube front page,
likely because I've searched for Yosemite vintage stuff so much.
It makes it so much easier.
The last one and this one are two of these that really appealed to me.

unveiling the bronze plaque in memory of Stephen T. Mather,
organizer and first director of the National Park Service,
at ceremonies held at Happy Isles in Yosemite Valley on July 4, 1932.

Pretty sure the background is Sunnyside Bench and Lower Falls.
Seems to be taken from the old Yosemite Village site on the south side of the river.

Friend of mine recently acquired this from his great aunt.
Just have the one page presently.
19th century!

Your friend has a real find. The Foley publication was a staple, apparently. There were probably thousands sold over the years.
All the ones I'm seeing on the web are from the early 1900s. All were priced at a half dollar.And a nice shot of the page, too. Thank you, Roy.
