Book excerpt: Ode to the Eastern Sierra is a 12"x12" coffee table book containing 240 full-color pages exploring the Eastern Sierra.The organization of the book follows the path many of my road trips on the 395 have taken. We begin in Owens Valley, spanning the region between Lone Pine and Bishop and including the wonders of the now-dry Owens Lake, the volcanic wonderland that is the Alabama Hills, Manzanar War Relocation Center, and the Volcanic Tablelands where we find ancient petroglyphs. Then, perhaps impatiently, we jaunt up and down the 395, from Bishop Creek Canyon to the June Lake loop, Lundy Canyon, and the Ansel Adams Wilderness, in search of the golden leaves of autumn. A detour into the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest in the White Mountains overlooking Owens Valley is next, and here we meet trees as old as human civilization.As we head north, the John Muir and then the Ansel Adams wildernesses begin to stretch to the west. The Wilderness section of this book is devoted to locations where at least a day hike, if not a backpacking trip, is required for access, and includes Little Lakes Valley to the south and many of the storied lakes, waterfalls, and vistas of the Ansel Adams Wilderness to the north. Entering Mono county, we visit Mammoth Lakes, Devils Postpile National Monument, the June Lake loop, Bodie ghost town and Sonora Pass. Mono Lake, the jewel of the Eastern Sierra, deserves and receives its own section. The last portion of this book is devoted to four travelogues written during backpacking trips in the Eastern Sierra in the last five years.

Book excerpt: Whether it be through far-flung deserts, luxuriant forests or majestic alpine terrain, when we choose to walk rather than fly or drive, something wonderful happens: our awareness and appreciation of the natural world begins to grow.

Download or read book Viola Martinez, California Paiute written by Diana Meyers Bahr and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 2012-10-09 with total page 215 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life story of Viola Martinez, an Owens Valley Paiute Indian of eastern California, extends over nine decades of the twentieth century. Viola experienced forced assimilation in an Indian boarding school, overcame racial stereotypes to pursue a college degree, and spent several years working at a Japanese American internment camp during World War II. Finding herself poised uncertainly between Indian and white worlds, Viola was determined to turn her marginalized existence into an opportunity for personal empowerment. In Viola Martinez, California Paiute, Diana Meyers Bahr recounts Viola’s extraordinary life story and examines her strategies for dealing with acculturation. Bahr allows Viola to tell her story in her own words, beginning with her early years in Owens Valley, where she learned traditional lifeways, such as gathering piñons, from her aunt. In the summers, she traveled by horse and buggy into the High Sierras where her aunt traded with Basque sheepherders. Viola was sent to the Sherman Institute, a federal boarding school with a mandate to assimilate American Indians into U.S. mainstream culture. Punished for speaking Paiute at the boarding school, Viola and her cousin climbed fifty-foot palm trees to speak their native language secretly. Realizing that, despite her efforts, she was losing her language, Viola resolved not just to learn English but to master it. She earned a degree from Santa Barbara State College and pursued a career as social worker. During World War II, Viola worked as an employment counselor for Japanese American internees at the Manzanar War Relocation Authority camp. Later in life, she became a teacher and worked tirelessly as a founding member of the Los Angeles American Indian Education Commission.

Download or read book John of the Mountains written by John Muir and published by Univ of Wisconsin Press. This book was released on 1979 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Muir, America's pioneer conservationist and father of the national park system, was a man of considerable literary talent. As he explored the wilderness of the western part of the United States for decades, he carried notebooks with him, narrating his wanderings, describing what he saw, and recording his scientific researches. This reprint of his journals, edited by Linnie Marsh Wolfe in 1938 and long out of print, offers an intimate picture of Muir and his activities during a long and productive period of his life. The sixty extant journals and numerous notes in this volume were written from 1867 to 1911. They start seven years after the time covered in The Story of My Boyhood and Youth, Muir's uncompleted autobiography. The earlier journals capture the essence of the Sierra Nevada and Alaska landscapes. The changing appearance of the Sierras from Sequoia north and beyond the Yosemites enthralled Muir, and the first four years of the journals reveal his dominating concern with glacial action. The later notebooks reflect his changes over the years, showing a mellowing of spirit and a deep concern for human rights. Like all his writings, the journals concentrate on his observations in the wilderness. His devotion to his family, his many warm friendships, and his many-sided public life are hardly mentioned. Very little is said about the quarter-century battle for national parks and forest reserves. The notebooks record, in language fuller and freer than his more formal writings, the depth of his love and transcendental feeling for the wilderness. The rich heritage of his native Scotland and the unconscious music of the poetry of Burns, Milton, and the King James Bible permeate the language of his poetic fancy. In his later life, Muir attempted to sort out these journals and, at the request of friends, published a few extracts. A year after his death in 1914, his literary executor and biographer, William Frederick Badè, also published episodes from the journals. Linnie Marsh Wolfe set out to salvage the best of his writings still left unpublished in 1938 and has thus added to our understanding of the life and thought of a complex and fascinating American figure.
