Sunday:
Come to hear Pulitzer Prize Nominee Craig MacDonald speak about Jessie Benton Fremont, the woman who inspired the saving of Yosemite Valley and the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoias at the Sunday April 22, 2012 meeting of the Costa Mesa Historical Society.
The effort of this unselfish lady and her friends marked the first time in the world that a national government set aside scenic lands for future generations. Yet, she has never been properly recognized for her unbelievable role in making this happen. You'll find out all about this woman and how the speaker is trying to get her recognized. You can even help with emails and letters. Without the Yosemite Grant (1864), it would have been much more difficult, if not impossible, for John Muir and friends to help create Yosemite National Park (1890). This is a story you will never forget!
The speaker, a member of Phi Alpha Theta, the national history honor society, is the author of 18 books on the West. He'll autograph his latest on Yosemite's Unsung Hero at the meeting. To learn more about Craig go to www.goldrushglimpses.com .
So bring a friend and learn about one of our early green leaders in the Golden State!
Doors open at 2:00, program at 2:30. Free admission and refreshments. We are located at 1870 Anaheim Ave. northwest corner of the Lions Park complex. For further information call (949) 631-5918, visit www.costamesahistory.org or go to facebook/costa mesa historical society.
