Gamlin Cabin Royalty-Free Stock Photo

This cabin was built in 1872 by Israel Gamlin, who with his brother Thomas filed a timber claim to 160 acres within the Grant Grove. They quartered here until 1878 while grazing cattle in the mountains. After General Grant National Park was established in 1890, the cabin was used as a storehouse by the U.S. Cavalry who patrolled the park until 1913. Later it became the quarters of the first park ranger stationed here. These days it is part of the walk around the general grant tree in Kings Canyon national park in Southern Sierra Nevada.
