These selected paragraphs distill the contents and give you a quick look inside Bancroft's Tourist's Guide Yosemite San Francisco and around the Bay, (South.): Look inside the book: The fact is, he never really saw a single object about the valley, except, possibly, the giant cliff, Tu-toch-ah-nu-lah, which, as he says, looked as if it might have leaned over and buried him beneath its vastness, and which, as I say, would, doubtless, have done so speedily, had it known that the shabby rider who shambled along under its base that moonlight night, sore at one end, sleepy at the other, and sick all the way between, was going to rush off and talk so inadequately, unworthily and even untruthfully about objects which no human eye ever did see or could see in the condition of his 11 sleep-oppressed optics on that slumbrous August morning. ...The reasonable tourist,—and those who have souls great enough to lead them to nature's wonders are supposed to be reasonable at least,—will readily see two good reasons why the charges along routes like these must be relatively higher than along the more frequently and permanently traveled routes of the thickly settled portions of the State: 1st, Everything which requires transportation, furniture, carpets, and all articles of food which cannot be raised in the immediate vicinity, necessarily cost much more for transportation than where steamers or cars bring them almost to the door. 2nd, The travel along all such routes, and the consequent profit 20 upon that travel, must be made within less than one third of the year.

Book Description
From the iconic Golden Gate Bridge to the hills and hippies of Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco is one of America's most beautiful cities. The city by the bay attracts millions of visitors annually and lies at the cultural heart of California's Bay Area (which has a population of seven million). Famous for earthquakes (most of them minor), San Francisco is constantly on the move. Yosemite National Park lies at the heart of the magnificent Sierra Nevada mountain range in California and is an extraordinary natural wonder. It was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984. A glaciar-carved canyon, Yosemite offers some of the United States' most spectacular scenery with miles of granite cliffs, dazzling waterfalls, and some of the oldest trees in the world. The sparkling Merced River pours over Yosemite's cliffs through the valley and national park.
