The Bohemian Grove is one of the more important places in the United States where businessmen, politicians, army officers, and scientists can sit around with each other and talk about anything they're interested in. Although networking officially is not allowed, going on summer camp together clearly aids in the "bonding process" - a concept everyone is familiar with from school or work. It's no surprise then that the expression "makes it easier to pick up the phone" has been mentioned more than once. In contrast to business, politics can be discussed openly in the Grove and it seems that whether or not a particular candidate is liked by the Bohemians can make or break his career. Going through membership lists, the vast majority of members belong the Republican Party.
If the reader is interested in my thoughts on the symbolism surrounding the Cremation of Care and the Bohemian Grove, take a look here. It might be better not to discuss any of that material here in this article.
On this page the reader can find a short historical timeline of the Bohemian Grove, a list of some of the relatively recent visitors of camp Mandalay, an analysis of the handful of British visitors, and the layout and location of the Bohemian Grove itself. The membership list included with this article consists of more than 550 names, all of them with biographies, some more extensive than others. There's a separate list of the 104 Bohemian Grove camps. At the bottom of this article the reader can find many cached references in which a lot of the names in the membership list can be found.
1970s or 1980s, dinner in the forest. About 85% of the Bohemian Grove members hail from California.
The material in this article deals with topics I generally missed in all the other articles about the Bohemian Grove, so I guess most of you will find it a useful expansion.
| 1872 | The Bohemian Club is organized in San Francisco as a gathering place for men who like the arts and literature. The clubhouse is located in the Astor Hotel on Sacramento Street and the owl is picked as the club's symbol. |
| 1874 | The Club has 182 members. |
| 1875 | The Bohemian Club's motto, "Weaving spiders, come not here", first appears on a Club announcement. It was taken from Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. |
| 1877 | The Club has outgrown the Astor Hotel and moves to 430 Pine Street in San Francisco. |
| 1878 | Several dozen Bohemians hold a Jinks in the forest in Sonoma County near what is now known as Camp Taylor (California Historical Society, Bohemian Club 1947). This will be the start of a long Bohemian tradition of trekking to the Sonoma County redwoods during July and August of each year for camping and entertainment. |
| 1882 | The Club's patron saint becomes John of Nepomuk. Legend has it that St. John was killed in 1393 at the orders of Wenceslaus IV, King of the Bohemians & King of the Holy Roman Empire, because he didn't want to disclose the confessional secrets of Queen Johanna of Bohemia. Today, St. John symbolizes the right to privacy of the Bohemians. |
| 1885 | The extremely successful Joseph D. Redding is elected president of the Bohemian Club. He will devise the Cremation of Care in 1893. Where he got his inspiration for the ceremony isn't clear. Redding is a very successful attorney for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, owned by the Rockefeller-connected Pilgrims Society families of Harriman & Harkness. Redding is considered a musical genius. |
| 1887 | The Club has 561 members, which are a combination of literary figures and San Francisco businessmen. Among them are 4 members of the Crocker banking family, 3 Spreckles, William Randolph Hearst, Bay Area shipbuilder Arthur W. Moore, columnist and writer Ambrose Bierce, writer Henry George, and 14 officers from the Army and Navy. Other Bohemian Club writers are Charles K. Field, Ina Coolbrith, Bret Harte, Daniel O'Connell, and Mark Twain. |
| 1892 | The 70 ft. high Buddha statue is built within the Sequoia Valley, now known as the Bohemian Grove. It is modeled after the Daibutsu of Kamakura, the Great Buddha from Japan. The statue used to be part of the Cremation of Care. |
| 1893 | Joseph D. Redding creates the Cremation of Care and serves as High Priest of Bohemia during this ceremony. Within a couple of years he will move his business to New York where he also becomes part of high society. The Bohemian Club starts renting a piece of land in the Sequoia Valley from the Sonoma Lumber Company. They will do this until 1899 when they make their first land purchase. |
| 1899 | The Bohemian Club buys a 160 acre piece of land in the Sequoia Valley, today known as the Bohemian Grove. The Club will make twenty-eight purchases of land over a 67 year period. Today it owns 2,712 acres. The New York Times writes two articles about the Cremation of Care and how impressive it is. |
| 1905 | The Washington Post reads: "The Taft party to-day visited the Bohemian grove of redwoods...", which is the first reference I have seen to presidents visiting the Bohemian Grove. |
| 1913 | The Cremation of Care ceremony is moved to the first weekend of the encampment. |
| 1914 | The Bohemian Club has 1259 members, of which 787 resident members, 241 non-resident members, 19 Navy officers, 49 Army officers, 29 faculty members, 114 associate members, and 20 honorary members. |
| mid 1920s | The Lake is built. It is about 100 feet wide and 400 feet long. Or for everybody outside of the United States: 30 meters wide and 124 meters long. |
| 1929 | The concrete owl is build. There are 169 different camps in the Bohemian Grove at this point. |
| summer 1933 | The Club takes up residence at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel when the dismantling of the old clubhouse begins. The club has grown to about 2000 members. A large new Club House is opened the following year. |
| 1941 | Membership drops to 1643 due to World War II. |
| 1950 | Big names as Eisenhower, Herbert Hoover and Edward Teller are visiting the Grove. |
| 1977 | Big names as Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, John McCone, Gerald Ford, the Kaisers and Bechtels are present at the prestigious Mandalay Camp at the Bohemian Grove. |
| 1981 | The Lake is relined with earth and concrete. It has an artificial waterfall tumbling into it, and water lilies are kept in natural-looking patterns by water jets embedded in the lake bottom. The only natural aspect to the lake is the early morning mist rising off it every morning. |
| 1994 | There are 124 camps in the Bohemian Grove. |
Many camps in the Bohemian Grove house very prestigious visitors. You have camps like Cave Man, Hideaway, Hill Billies, Hillside, Isle of Aves, Lost Angels, Mandalay, Midway, Owl's Nest, Sempervirens, Silverado Squatters, and Stowaway. Mandalay seems to be the camp for international relations and consists of more than a few members officially or otherwise connected to foreign policy and the CIA. Mandalay is the only camp the average visitor cannot just walk into; an appointment or formal invitation is necessary. If you're cleared for access, you are taken up the hill with a Bechtel-designed electric pulley. Many members of camps like Hill Billies or Stowaway (Rockefellers and Morgans) in particular have previously been invited to Mandalay.

Don't forget the membership list, the camps list, or the article on the symbolism of the Bohemian Grove.
