Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A repentant widower ventures into grizzly country alone. But are grizzly bears what he should fear most? Bob Riley has committed to complete his late wife’s bucket list of hikes after she perished on the John Muir Trail. He should have gone with her. He could have saved her life. His current partner, Liz, comes down with the flu just days before their trip to Grand Teton National Park but urges him to go alone. Armed with bear spray, his mischievous marmot hiking mascot, and four days of food in a bulky, bear-proof container, Bob sets off on the iconic Teton Crest Trail. A group of eight young men attempt to complete the trail that beat them two years ago, before their growing life commitments drive them apart. Will trail magic be enough to overcome the unexpected challenges the trail throws their way? How will Bob share the diverse mountain landscape, shriveling glaciers, fascinating wildlife encounters, and cascading streams with Liz and Cathy, his late wife? Will all of Bob’s paying it forward lead to payback when he needs it most? Will his aging body and conflicted mind allow him to live up to his commitment to Cathy? Follow Bob and his trail friends as they experience the wonders and dangers hidden beyond the jagged peaks most only see from the scenic drive. This is a work of fiction.

Download or read book Wilderness Forever written by Mark W. T. Harvey and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2009-11-23 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the Forest History Society's 2006 Charles A. Weyerhaeuser Book Award As a central figure in the American wilderness preservation movement in the mid-twentieth century, Howard Zahniser (1906-1964) was the person most responsible for the landmark Wilderness Act of 1964. While the rugged outdoorsmen of the earlyenvironmental movement, such as John Muir and Bob Marshall, gave the cause a charismatic face, Zahniser strove to bring conservation's concerns into the public eye and the preservationists' plans to fruition. In many fights to save besieged wild lands, he pulled together fractious coalitions, built grassroots support networks, wooed skittish and truculent politicians, and generated streams of eloquent prose celebrating wilderness. Zahniser worked for the Bureau of Biological Survey (a precursor to the Fish and Wildlife Service) and the Department of the Interior, wrote for Nature magazine, and eventually managed the Wilderness Society and edited its magazine, Living Wilderness. The culmination of his wilderness writing and political lobbying was the Wilderness Act of 1964. All of its drafts included his eloquent definition of wilderness, which still serves as a central tenet for the Wilderness Society: "an area where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man, where man himself is a visitor who does not remain." The bill was finally signed into law shortly after his death. Pervading his tireless work was a deeply held belief in the healing powers of nature for a humanity ground down by the mechanized hustle-bustle of modern, urban life. Zahniser grew up in a family of Methodist ministers, and although he moved away from any specific denomination, a spiritual outlook informed his thinking about wilderness. His love of nature was not so much a result of scientific curiosity as a sense of wonder at its beauty and majesty, and a wish to exist in harmony with all other living things. In this deeply researched and affectionate portrait, Mark Harvey brings to life this great leader of environmental activism.
Download or read book Grand Controversy written by and published by The Mountaineers Books. This book was released on with total page 516 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1872, James Stevenson and Nathaniel Langford claimed they had made the first ascent of the Grand Teton; however, they failed to leave a clairn or mark on the summit to prove their success. The second team claiming the summit in 1893 made the same error. So when Bill Owen summited in 1898 he claimed the first ascent and from that time on he controlled and shaped the mountain's history. The Grand Controversy is the story of the remarkable beginnings of Teton climbing, its pioneer era, and its fascinating, long unsettled controversy: Who really climbed the Grand Teton first?
Download or read book Old Blue s Road written by James Whiteside and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Old Blue’s Road, historian James Whiteside shares accounts of his motorcycle adventures across the American West. He details the places he has seen, the people he has met, and the personal musings those encounters prompted on his unique journeys of discovery. In 2005, Whiteside bought a Harley Davidson Heritage Softail, christened it “Old Blue,” and set off on a series of far-reaching motorcycle adventures. Over six years he traveled more than 15,000 miles. Part travelogue and part historical tour, this book takes the reader along for the ride. Whiteside’s travels to the Pacific Northwest, Yellowstone, Dodge City, Santa Fe, Wounded Knee, and many other locales prompt consideration of myriad topics—the ongoing struggle between Indian and mainstream American culture, the meaning of community, the sustainability of the West's hydraulic society, the creation of the national parks system, the Mormon experience in Utah, the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II, and more. Delightfully funny and insightful, Old Blue’s Road links the colorful history and vibrant present from Whiteside’s unique vantage point, recognizing and reflecting on the processes of change that made the West what it is today. The book will interest the general reader and western historian alike, leading to new appreciation for the complex ways in which the American West's past and present come together.
