In all that has been recorded about the Yosemite no satisfactory evidence has ever been produced as to the first white man's footprints on the level where the beautiful Merced seeks egress from the rock-bound chasm. We concede that honor to Louis Sammann, a Mono County man now residing at Mono Lake. Louis is a pioneer, an old hunter and a guide in that portion of the Sierra, and figured in many escapades duriug the Indian troubles. Ho has abundant proof of a memorable trip into the valley in 1861. When hunting for game he followed the sinuosities of an Indian trail from the direction of Coulterville and brought up in the vicinity of Bridal Veil Fall. He had killed a deer and, being nearly worn out with fatigue, was seeking the nearest water when he came unexpectedly upon a large camp of hostile Indians, which had the eff ect of settling all desire for thirst. As may be supposed Mi visit was of short duration.
