  Caption: "Potato Race," c. 1917. Several horseback riders holding long poles skirmish around a bucket in what appears to be a game similar to polo, played with a potato. A crowd has gathered to watch the game, while the rock cliff walls of Yosemite Valley tower in the background. Given the date, this was likely part of Independence Day festivities in the Yosemite Valley.

  Caption: "Glacier Point (x)," c. 1917. In this photograph of the walls of Yosemite Valley, taken from the valley floor, William McCarthy has marked the location of Glacier Point with an "x." Glacier Point, on the south wall of the valley 3,200 feet above what is now known as Half Dome Village, provides panoramic views of the valley and many of its features.
