Awani Press Publications were first printed while Doug Hubbard and his family was still living in Yosemite National Park. Doug was Chief Park Naturalist at the time, and he and wife Fran recognized a need for fun and informative "Yosemite Books."
Over the years a variety of titles on topics other than Yosemite were added to the Awani Press catalog as the Hubbard Family members moved and experienced new and interesting things.
But for now we offer these Yosemite titles...
The Black Bear, Mule Deer, Mountain Coyote and Mountain Lion are Yosemite icons. Now "captured" by the artist, they are available as 11 x 14 inch fine art prints!
These endearing images of Yosemite mothers and their babies are from the original pen and ink drawings of world famous wildlife artist Bill Berry.
Printed on heavy stock, they are beautiful framed...perfect for a babies room.
You will be delighted.
$20.00 ( Set of four fine art prints, 11x14 inches on
heavy stock.)

Back in the early days of Yosemite, life was pretty "wild-and-wooly". Masked men and stage coach hold ups were common. Most men were armed and they needed to be for their safety.
Eddie Webb was the last surviving Yosemite stagecoach driver, and was tickled to tell his Yosemite Yarns of how life used to be back in those days one last time for the author.
Some of his stories are fanciful, some are actual recollections. All are fun!
Find out how the Yosemite Firefall began, what the Rattlesnake Tree was, how the first climb of Half Dome was accomplished and discover 18 other stories of Yosemite back in the days of the wild west..
