Riassunto

This is a reprint of the 1872 edition of Clarence King’s classic work, which some have described as the first real literature of the Sierra. It is adventure writing at its best. King’s mountain climbing descriptions are spine-tingling (and more than a little exaggerated) but they still provide strong impressions and colorful descriptions of the Sierra Nevada following the gold rush.

Product Description:

This is a new reprint of the 1872 edition of Clarence King's classic work, which some have described as the first real literature of the Sierra. Originally appearing as a series of sketches in the Atlantic Monthly and Overland Monthly, it is emotionally charged adventure writing at its best. King's mountain climbing descriptions are spinetingling and more than a little exaggerated, but still provide strong impressions and colorful descriptions of the Sierra Nevada in the two decades following the gold rush.
