This painting is a depiction of Pioneer Village, a site where original architecture from different parts of Yosemite’s history was transported to one spot. From a Wells Fargo bank, a cabin artists stayed and in a cabin used by the cavalry, this site reveals the mythology of Yosemite's founding, neglecting the presence and subsequent removal of the Ahwahnee. Instead, a story of fronterism is present as the defining feature of yosemite.
