A very nice historical look at the Sierra Nevada, from 1864 – 1931, with chapters on William Brewer, Clarence King, John Muir, Bolton Colt Brown, Joseph LeConte, James Hutchinson, Ernest Andrews, Francis Farquhar, Charles Michael, and Norman Clyde. Arnold spent four years retracing the routes of these early pioneers using only rudimentary equipment.
