About This Item

Yosemite Valley: D.J. Foley's Yosemite Falls Studio, (1902). Second edition. Small octavo. 110 pp. With ads and photographic illustrations. Folding map opposite pp. 10. Publisher's printed green wrappers with green cloth spine. Small strip of sunning where spine meets boards on front, piece of corner excised from one leaf of ads. Overall, a very good, tight and clean copy of this ephemeral item. Second yearly edition of Foley's annual guide, based on the guide he first published in 1892 and revised in 1894 (both of which are notoriously rare). Daniel Foley managed the Yosemite Valley tourist office, which published a guide, a view book, and a newspaper for visitors. Foley's Yosemite Souvenir and Guide was heavily used by the valley's 8,000 annual visitors. Filled with tour and day-trip advice and with photos of the spectacular falls and granite features, the guide also includes ads for visitor services such as Salter's Valley Store, Cook's Sentinel Hotel, Fiske's photography studios, and Curry's Camp. While relatively easily available, Foley's guides were heavily used and finding one in very good condition is getting difficult. See Currey & Kruska 117.
