Yosemite Ranger, Shelton Johnson, shares his stories as a Buffalo Soldier re-enactor.  In addition, Shelton will talk about his experience hosting Oprah Winfrey and a group of her friends on their first camping experience at Yosemite.  Shelton's experience as a four year old standing in the Bavarian Alps planted the seed leading to him becoming a ranger.   He talks about his historical novel, Gloryland, which tells the story of Buffalo Soldier Elijah Yancy.  Shelton Johnson starred in the Ken Burns docu-series on National Parks.  As a result,  he is arguably the National Park Service's most famous ranger.  Yosemite Ranger Shelton Johnson is a master storyteller.  Get his book Gloryland, here.
