PIONEER CEMETERY, YOSEMITE NATIONAL PARK 
MARIPOSA COUNTY, CALIFORNIA

In August 2000, I was in Yosemite National Park, Mariposa County, California. 
Pioneer Cemetery is located next to Yosemite Museum in Yosemite Village. The 
village was swarming with tourists but very few were wandering among the old 
gravestones at the shaded cemetery. The lighting and seclusion were perfect for 
snapping photos. The Visitor Center nearby has a guide to the cemetery. I did 
not know that when I was there snapping pictures; otherwise, more biographical 
information on each of these pioneers might have been given.

Some of the stones are in very bad condition, particularly Galen Clark's. It 
was a challenge to read the bad ones, such as James C. Lamoh or Lamon. If 
someone has the guide, I would appreciate any corrections they can offer. The 
photos are viewable at:
