Oral History

Yosemite is doing a project where they are interviewing people who have had Yosemite effect their lives in some way. They are sharing their stories so that the history will be preserved for the future generations.

"Charlotte Ewing, one of the project's interviewees, has a deep connection with Yosemite National Park. Ewing's father, brother, and grandfather were all Yosemite rangers, while Ewing herself was a Yosemite employee and resident for most of her life. She recalls her grandfather, Gabriel Sovulewski - one of Yosemite's first park supervisors - "[My grandfather] loved the outdoors, and he was probably a very capable steward of the land. ... He was dedicated in teaching all of us—or me anyway as a smaller person—how to treat the land, to take care of it, and to leave it for other people."'
