Travel back to the time when photography was in its infancy, and learn about Watkins' grueling journey with almost a ton of photographic equipment to capture the untamed splendor of Yosemite. Witness how Watkins' stunning images influenced pivotal figures, including President Abraham Lincoln, leading to the establishment of the Yosemite Grant Act of 1864. Despite the grandeur he captured, Watkins' personal life was marked by tragic decline, culminating in an unmarked grave.   Hosted By Jason Epperson Written by Jonathan Shipley   Use code PARKS30 for $30 off of a $500 or more booking at www.rvshare.com.
