Re: The High Sierra Library
New to this board, and not sure how this works....
Kenneth Rexroth, In the Sierra: Mountain Writings (New Directions: 2012), Kim Stanley Robinson, ed.
Rexroth's Sierra prose and poetry, plus some interesting additional stuff.
What are the criteria for inclusion in this library list? Is there a list somewhere of what already is in your library? (I have quite a few Sierra books...)

Very top (logo) - far right, it says "resources"...includes our HST library.suncup wrote: What are the criteria for inclusion in this library list? Is there a list somewhere of what already is in your library? (I have quite a few Sierra books...)
As to how to suggest/ include other books - Eric has the final say -
(but any book suggestions must be still in print and available from Amazon.)
BTW, Welcome.

Re: The High Sierra Library
I suggest adding "The Incomparable Valley: A Geologic Interpretation of the Yosemite" by Matthes. A good intro to how the Sierra was formed with an emphasis on geology.

Re: The High Sierra Library
Two that I surely thought were on the list...
History of the Sierra Nevada By Francis Farquhar.
Excellent book with a collection of essays and stories included by many of the original Sierra Explorers.
My First Summer in the Sierra by John Muir. Published later and after his more well known works... still an excellent classic for lovers of Muir, the Sierra, and romantic writing.

Never put off a backpacking trip for tomorrow, if you can do it today...

Re: The High Sierra Library
Any of Hank Johnston's books are great: 'They Felled the Redwoods', 'The Whistles Blow no More', and 'Railroads of the Yosemite Valley' Not HIGH Sierra, but great historical books on turn of the century logging and industrialization.

Re: The High Sierra Library
Since it hasn't been mentioned, and was published after the last posting in this thread, "The High Sierra: A Love Story" by Kim Stanley Robinson (https://www.amazon.com/High-Sierra-Love ... 031659301X)
