Download or read book Mount Shasta Sightings written by Brian David Wallenstein and published by Universal Template. This book was released on 2012-12 with total page 626 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mount Shasta is number 13 out of 300 for UFO sighting Hot Spots. There must be some logical explanation. This book explores the history, background, reviews and reported sightings to MUFON, Project Blue-Book, Nicap and inviting the community to disclose long standing secrets to the author, which they did, that further confirms the existence of UFO activity in Mt. Shasta and the immediate surrounding areas. We found blacked-out, classified sightings, were able to get current testimony and findings to some of the most shocking events never disclosed until now. This book synthesizes the local phenomena to the larger pattern existing on our planet that can only arrive at the startling conclusion, that we are not alone and that the seeming agenda of these mysterious friends, is one of helping planet earth's children remember their origins and find a deeper connection to our galactic home and free our species from the monkey grip of fear and oppression imposed by our own hands. Unfortunately this data does little good if there are systems in place to stop the dissemination of this beneficial information by those who for their own reasons, desire to keep our race in the dark. Along with never revealed sightings involving local police officers, forest service employees and people from all walks of life, some of these sightings were deliberately blacked out for their indisputable credibility of which, the truth was revealed. Some of the secret reasons of non-disclosure are examined in the book, from already found artifacts of our parent off-world race, their long standing presence here and on the moon, is kept from us deliberately by the secret space program, and that is only skimming the surface. It is high time as shareholders of this planet, we be informed to the company agenda, all of it! This book at least, can help take you part way there. One of our Presidents also has allegedly visited Mars several times and was educated up here in Siskiyou County by DARPA's Mars Visitation Program trainers. The class and times had been confirmed by the Author. This volume has been decades in the making and offers an incredible informative chronology based on fact and observations of thousands. It is a must read for any curious origin seeking person, who knows that the universe is far too large and full of life to limit the neighborhood to just this planet. It is packed with over 600 pages of relevant information bound to inform you.

Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "The Mountains of California (With Original Drawings & Photographs)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. The Mountains of California is John Muir's tribute to the beauties of the Sierra, in the book form. When he came to California and finally settled in San Francisco, John Muir immediately left for a visit to Yosemite, a place he had only read about. Seeing it for the first time, Muir noted that "He was overwhelmed by the landscape, scrambling down steep cliff faces to get a closer look at the waterfalls, whooping and howling at the vistas, jumping tirelessly from flower to flower." He climbed a number of mountains, including Cathedral Peak and Mount Dana, and hiked the old Indian trail down Bloody Canyon to Mono Lake. He vividly described not only his journeys through the mountains, valleys andglaciersof Sierra, but also the nature and geology of the area. John Muir (1838 - 1914) was a Scottish-American naturalist, author, environmental philosopher and early advocate of preservation of wilderness in the United States. His letters, essays, and books telling of his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley, Sequoia National Park and other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he founded, is a prominent American conservation organization.

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. &
Download or read book Carleton Watkins written by Tyler Green and published by University of California Press. This book was released on 2020-10-20 with total page 594 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "[A] fascinating and indispensable book."—Christopher Knight, Los Angeles Times Best Books of 2018—The Guardian Gold Medal for Contribution to Publishing, 2018 California Book Awards Carleton Watkins (1829–1916) is widely considered the greatest American photographer of the nineteenth century and arguably the most influential artist of his era. He is best known for his pictures of Yosemite Valley and the nearby Mariposa Grove of giant sequoias. Watkins made his first trip to Yosemite Valley and Mariposa Grove in 1861 just as the Civil War was beginning. His photographs of Yosemite were exhibited in New York for the first time in 1862, as news of the Union’s disastrous defeat at Fredericksburg was landing in newspapers and while the Matthew Brady Studio’s horrific photographs of Antietam were on view. Watkins’s work tied the West to Northern cultural traditions and played a key role in pledging the once-wavering West to Union. Motivated by Watkins’s pictures, Congress would pass legislation, signed by Abraham Lincoln, that preserved Yosemite as the prototypical “national park,” the first such act of landscape preservation in the world. Carleton Watkins: Making the West American includes the first history of the birth of the national park concept since pioneering environmental historian Hans Huth’s landmark 1948 “Yosemite: The Story of an Idea.” Watkins’s photographs helped shape America’s idea of the West, and helped make the West a full participant in the nation. His pictures of California, Oregon, and Nevada, as well as modern-day Washington, Utah, and Arizona, not only introduced entire landscapes to America but were important to the development of American business, finance, agriculture, government policy, and science. Watkins’s clients, customers, and friends were a veritable “who’s who” of America’s Gilded Age, and his connections with notable figures such as Collis P. Huntington, John and Jessie Benton Frémont, Eadweard Muybridge, Frederick Billings, John Muir, Albert Bierstadt, and Asa Gray reveal how the Gilded Age helped make today’s America. Drawing on recent scholarship and fresh archival discoveries, Tyler Green reveals how an artist didn’t just reflect his time, but acted as an agent of influence. This telling of Watkins’s story will fascinate anyone interested in American history; the West; and how art and artists impacted the development of American ideas, industry, landscape, conservation, and politics.
Download or read book Mount Shasta written by Darla Greb Mazariegos and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, native inhabitants revered this snowcapped volcano, its craggy peaks, thick forests, crystal waters, and abundant wildlife. "Lonely as god and white as a winter moon, Mount Shasta starts up sudden and solitary from the heart of the great black forests of Northern California," Joaquin Miller so eloquently wrote. In the late 1820s, trappers first encountered the mountain, followed later by other explorers and travelers. By the 1870s, early settler Justin Sisson had developed a resort with guided tours to Mount Shasta's summit. In 1887, after the railroad was completed, the town of Sisson was established at the base of the mountain, where hotels and saloons catered to tourists and lumbermen from nearby mills. South of the mountain, travelers on Southern Pacific's Shasta Route filled the resorts along the Sacramento River. The new century brought a new mode of travel, the automobile, and a new name for Sisson. "Mount Shasta City" was chosen to reflect the town's special connection to the mountain.
