Re: The High Sierra Library
Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada; Clarence King; 1872
...A personal account - tall tales and many firsts... his explorations.
Other than being a bit of a racist (and - ARGH! - mis-use of the word Sierras all too often),
A great read.

"High Oddyssey" by Gene Rose
The story of Orland Bartholemew's solo winter journey in 1928/29 from Cottonwood Pass to Yosemite. A true Sierra Classic if there ever was one.
And, by one of our own: "Walk the Sky: Following the John Muir Trail" Spectacular photos of the JMT

Already in there. Gene would be flattered by your endorsement of his book (and he reads the forums from time to time).paul wrote:"High Oddyssey" by Gene Rose

Re: The High Sierra Library
Last month Pacific Book Auctions in San Francisco had an auction for "Yosemite and the High Sierra". Perhaps more out of interest sake than practicality sake, the catalog can be viewed here:

Re: The High Sierra Library
Great contributions. I'm making my way through the list and adding to the new High Sierra Library page. Lots of books and taking some time, but things are coming together. Sorry if some have to be left out do to being out of print.

Re: The High Sierra Library
Geez, Mark. I barely just made it though you earlier entries to this thread! Joking aside, the library isn't static and I'm happy to add any new books that are available online and that aren't already in the library. Keep'em coming...
