Join Clarence King on an exhilarating journey through the Sierra Nevada in his memoir, Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada. As a key figure in the California Geological Survey and the first director of the U.S. Geological Survey, King offers captivating narratives that blend adventure with scientific exploration. Written in 1872, his accounts of hand-and-foot rock climbing feel as relevant today as ever. Experience the thrill of Victorian-era mountaineering alongside insights into groundbreaking scientific concepts like Darwinian evolution and glacial formations. With Californias landscape evolving post-Gold Rush, Kings detailed observations illuminate the regions economic geography. Each of the 14 chapters presents a unique theme, from geological histories to human interest stories, including the Maidu Indians and the boundary survey of Yosemite National Park.
