An exceedingly interesting register, kept for the comments of campers of that day, was recently presented to the Yosemite Museum by the descendants of Harris. For ten years Yosemite campers recorded their ideas of Yosemite, its management, and particularly the kindness of Harris, upon its pages. The following is representative: Yosemite Valley, Tuesday, July 20th, 1880 We have tented in the Valley and been contented too. So would like to add a chapter to this _bible_ for review Of campers who come hither for study or for fun In this Valley—of God’s building the grandest ’neath the sun. When you come into the Valley—for information go To the owner of this Record, and directly he will show You where to go, and how to go, and what to see when there And will sell you all things needful, at prices that are fair. Like Moses in the wilderness, he’ll furnish food and drink For all the tribes that come to him—cheaper than you’d think. His bread is not from Heaven—but San Francisco Bay And that is next thing to it—so San Franciscans say. The water that he gives you—running through granite rock Is the same as that which Moses gave his wonder-stricken flock. If you ask him where to angle—he’ll tell you—on the sly Down in the Indian Camp—with silver hook and fly. In a word this Mr. Harris is a proper kind of man, And as a friend to campers in the Valley—leads the van. Wm. B. Lake Fred W. Lake San Francisco E. D. Lake Nat Webb Sacramento If the reader thinks this poetry—don’t judge me by the style, For ’tis the kind that rhymsters make to peddle by the mile. W B L It may be said that from the Harris service grew the idea of camp rental, which was first practiced by the commissioners in 1898 and is now a recognized business of the housekeeping-camps department of the present operators in the park.
