Gentle Wilderness: The Sierra Nevada

Good used hardcover in poor dust jacket (significant tears and chips).

Nearly a century after John Muir's first summer in the Sierra, Richard Kauffman has come along with color camera instead of notebook to recapture the feeling of discovery and the vividness in what Muir was to call the Range of Light. Here is the Sierra the way Muir saw it and the way others have seen it. The purpose of this book is to remind everyone we can that neither California nor the rest of America is rich enough to lose any more of the Gentle Wilderness, nor poor enough to need to.
