	Three Generations of Rangers as told by Ruth Ewing
Gabriel Sovulewski (Herb Ewing's grandfather) served 1906-1936. He was appointed park supervisor in 1906. Gabriel was born in Poland in 1866 and emigrated to the United States when he was 16.	Three Generations of Rangers as told by Ruth Ewing		Herbert B. Ewing served 1946-1977. Grandson of Gabriel Sovulewski, son of Frank Ewing and raised in Yosemite, Herb was destined to be a ranger. Those two men took him all over the park and he absorbed their history, as well as the amazing geography. Thus Herb knew more about Yosemite than any ranger in his generation.

Frank B. Ewing served 1916-1950. While Frank served as a ranger only from 1916 until 1918, he remained with the NPS in Yosemite for 34 years as Roads-and-Trails foreman and finally as Chief of Operations. His most notable years spanned the time he was in charge of roads and trails, succeeding his illustrious father-in-law, Gabriel Sovulewski.
