Driven by the possibilities for finding fortune, this young farmer heads into the mountains and discvoers treasure far more suitable to him than silver. Hear his story and learn how the silver rush was significant in Sequoia's history.
Mate Hildebrand
Mate Hildebrand is the music teacher for the Kaweah Colony, a group of socialists living in the Giant Forest before this was Sequoia National Park. Living off the land and enjoying the benefits of the Timber and Stone Act, providing people the opportunity to buy land at just $2.50 an acre, this group of idealists suffer from possibly losing not only their land but their dreams of living cooperatively.
Mule Packer
Meet George, an early 20th century mule packer who started his career out of pure interest in working with animals. From mucking stalls to learning the craft of a wrangler to packing prominent businessman and creator of the National Park Service, Stephen Mather, into the backcountry in 1915, this young man demonstrates proper use of packing tools and describes his passion of working with mules.
