This is the cabin and burial site for Galen Clark, one of the earlier caretakes of Yosemite Valley. As a young man, he came to Yosemite in the 1840's from the East Coast, where he had contracted tuberculosis and given 6 months to live. Figuring that the dry mountain air would be good for his condition, he moved to Yosemite Valley built a small cabin and decided to pick out a proper grave. He planted four Sequoia trees at each corner of the grave site, watering them every day to help them get rooted before he died. . . . the only problem, he ended up living in Yosemite Valley another 53 years, passing away at the age of 94. During most of that time, he was the only park ranger for the Valley.
