"In this grove the trees stand so thick together that at midday the sunlight filters through only dim rays. The trees are not so large as in many other parts of the timber belt of this State, but they are extremely graceful, rising like Greek columns to a height of 200 or 300 feet. The peculiarity of the redwood is the absence of all branches for the first 50 to 100 feet. Then the upper foliage has a feathery, delicate appearance that distinguishes the tree from the pine, hemlock, or cedar. The green of the foliage is the darkest shade known in nature, and the balsamic odor is more pronounced than that of the pine. The mases of dark foliage come out strongly against the cloudless blue of the sky and the deep red columnar trees, producing effects which few California painters have been able to faithfully reproduce, though many have attempted the task.

"Nothing can exceed the solemnity and the stillness of the redwood groves of California, unless it be the great eucalyptus forests of Australia. The song of birds is seldom heard in these dimly lit aisles, and even the smaller animals do not appear to haunt the groves."

- June 25, 1899, New York Times, 'Bohemia in California'


"...In july 1979, during one of these visits to California, George Shultz invited me to be his guest in Bohemian Grove during the traditional yearly summer encampment. This weekend gave me one of the most astounding experiences I ever had in the United States. Later I went to Bohemian Grove a second time and my impressions intensified. The landscape in which the encampment (the term used) takes place is uncommonly beautiful. The valley, a few meters wide and several kilometres long, is protected along both slopes and on the valley floor by venerable sequoias, some of them a thousand years old. Though the sky can be glimpsed through the loosely grouped treetops, the horizon is concealed. It was very quiet with a total absence of traffic noise..."

- Helmut Schmidt in his 1991 biography

Bohemian Grove: Summer hideout for America's Republican establishment

Intro

Presidents Eisenhower and Herbert Hoover and the Bohemian Grove.
July 23, 1950, Eisenhower, Herbert Hoover, Edward Teller, and Ernest Lawrence at the Bohemian Grove.

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.

Bohemian Grove dinner in the forest
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.

Brief timeline of the Bohemian Club and the Bohemian Grove.

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.

Camp Mandalay

Bohemian Grove Camp Mandalay, 1977, with Henry Kissinger, George Shultz, Gerald Ford, the Bechtels, Kaisers and other big names.

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.

British visitors

Historically British Bohemian Grove visitors appear to have been closely connected to the British royal family and the major banks in London. In later years we also see a variety of intellectuals appear. The individuals below are the only ones that I've been able to find so far.

Prince Philip
Sources: 1972, Norman Loyall McLaren, "Prince Philip in the Grove (p. 456; page includes picture of Prince Philip at the Grove)"

Made an off-season visit to the Bohemian Grove in November 1962.
Queen Elizabeth
Reports exist that the Queen visited the Bohemian Grove in 1983. This would be interesting to confirm or disprove, especially because ordinarily women aren't allowed in the Bohemian Grove.
