Joseph Nisbet LeConte (1870-1950), was the son of early Sierra Club member Dr. Joseph LeConte. Joseph N. LeConte, known as "Little Joe," was a noted explorer, cartographer, and photographer of the Sierra Nevada. He made his first photographs of Yosemite in 1889. In addition to his duties as the Club's High Trip photographer, he served on the Sierra Club board of directors for 42 years (1898-1940) and was elected as the Sierra Club's second president in 1914. In the late 1940s, Ansel Adams, who greatly admired LeConte's photography, printed for the Sierra Club four volumes of LeConte's remarkable photographs of Yosemite and the High Sierra.
