Everything about Lafayette Bunnell totally explained
Lafayette Houghton Bunnell (
1824-
1903), an explorer of
Yosemite Valley, was born in Rochester, New York.
History
In
1851, Bunnell was a member of the
Mariposa Battalion that became the non-
indigenous discoverers of the
Yosemite Valley. Discovery wasn't the main purpose of the trip: the Battalion rode out in search of
Native American tribal leaders involved in recent raids on American settlements. Bunnell explored the Valley and named many of its features.
Discovery of the Yosemite, and the Indian war of 1851 (1880) contains his account of his exploration and the actions of the Battalion. The majority of what is known about
Chief Tenaya and the Ahwahnees was from Bunnell's written accounts. Bunnell was the first person who encountered Chief Tenaya who subsequently wrote a book.
Dr Bunnell later served as a
surgeon in the
American Civil War.
Bunnell Point at the east end of
Little Yosemite Valley is named after Bunnell.
