Book Description
Vischer was a German who went to South America as a businessman. While there he offered hospitality to Charles Darwin. He moved later to California during the Gold Rush for business. He took up sketching scenes of his travels. He planned Pictorial of California to be a series of 60 landscape views, later expanded to over 100. Mariano Vallejo urged him to add views of the presidios to those of the missions.

Historic Tales of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park: Big Trees Grove

Book Description
Visiting the redwoods in nineteenth-century California meant coming to Big Trees Grove, now part of Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. This forest of giants in the Santa Cruz Mountains attained fame through the 1846 exploits of explorer John Charles Frémont, whose namesake tree still stands. Saved from the logger's axe by Joseph Warren Welch in 1867, these were the first coastal redwoods preserved for public recreation. As a world-renowned resort for sixty years, Big Trees Grove hosted thousands of visitors--from picnickers to presidents, including Theodore Roosevelt. Join author Deborah Osterberg as she recounts the stories of those first visitors and the awe-inspiring landscape they preserved for future generations.
