Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Biographical Memoir of Clarence King: 1842-1901 Indians, which proved a by no means useless though. Sometimes troublesome adjunct. In the following May the party proceeded to California by way of the Isthmus of Panama, but it was near the end of July before all the necessary preparations had been made and they took up their march from Sacramento across the Sierra Nevada to their field of work. In these days, when the West is covered by a network of rail ways, it is difficult to conceive of the obstacles that had to be overcome in carrying out so ambitious a work as that which King had planned. Of the transcontinental railroads but a few miles at either end had yet been constructed. The territories of Utah and Nevada were represented on most maps of the day as one broad desert, and it was considered doubtful whether sufficient water and grass could be found there to support a camping party. Through such a country it was designed to carry, not a simple meander survey along a previously chosen route, as had hitherto been the custom in military explorations, but the detailed map ping, both topographical and geological, of an area about 100 miles in width, which finally extended nearly miles in length.

Book excerpt: "Clarence King is a hero of nineteenth-century western history. Brilliant scientist and witty conversationalist, bestselling author and architect of the great surveys that mapped the West after the Civil War, King hid a secret from his Gilded Age cohorts and prominent Newport family: for thirteen years he lived a double life--as the celebrated white Clarence King and as a black Pullman porter and steelworker. Unable to marry the black woman he loved, the fair-haired, blue-eyed King passed as a Negro, revealing his secret to his wife Ada only on his deathbed. Historian Martha Sandweiss is the first writer to uncover the life that King tried so hard to conceal. She reveals the complexity of a man who, while publicly espousing a personal dream of a uniquely American amalgam of white and black, hid his love for his wife and their five biracial children"--Publisher description

Download or read book Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada written by Clarence King and published by . This book was released on 1872 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A bona fide classic, originally published in 1872, Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada is still exciting reading. It describes the perils and pleasures experienced by Clarence King (1842-1901) while conducting the first geological survey of California in the 1860s. His language was equal to the marvels he found, and here with unfading brilliance are his accounts of scaling such mountains as Tyndall, Shasta, and Whitney. The chapters on the Yosemite Valley and surrounding High Sierras were written while he was surveying the boundaries of a newly designated national park. There are also delightful vignettes of western characters, including a Sierra artist and a family of Pike County hog farmers. &
