Hetch Hetchy, Yosemite, and the battle for National Parks
Albert Bierstadt's painting, "Hetch Hetchy Valley, California," captures the beauty of a valley now lost to a dam built in 1923. The artwork reflects America's struggle between development and preserving nature. Bierstadt's work also highlights the displacement of Native Americans, adding a layer of historical context.
