Download or read book The Man Who Built the Sierra Club written by Robert Wyss and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-07 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: David Brower (1912–2000) was a central figure in the modern environmental movement. His leadership, vision, and elegant conception of the wilderness forever changed how we approach nature. In many ways, he was a twentieth-century Thoreau. Brower transformed the Sierra Club into a national force that challenged and stopped federally sponsored projects that would have dammed the Grand Canyon and destroyed hundreds of millions of acres of our nation's wilderness. To admirers, he was tireless, passionate, visionary, and unyielding. To opponents and even some supporters, he was contentious and polarizing. As a young man growing up in Berkeley, California, Brower proved himself a fearless climber of the Sierra Nevada's dangerous peaks. After serving in the Tenth Mountain Division during World War II, he became executive director of the Sierra Club. This uncompromising biography explores Brower's role as steward of the modern environmental movement. His passionate advocacy destroyed lifelong friendships and, at times, threatened his goals. Yet his achievements remain some of the most important triumphs of the conservation movement. What emerges from this unique portrait is a rich and robust profile of a leader who took up the work of John Muir and, along with Rachel Carson, made environmentalism the cause of our time.

Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ...our way down Son-of-a-Gun. The valley was covered with snow, and everything was as slippery as glass. By eleven we hit the flat valley, and here we threw away our snowshoes. We were resting and drinking by a gurgling stream when I heard a faint halloo. We waited ten minutes, then hallooed again. Phil had gone on ahead to where he could see farther down the valley. Just then a man hove into our sight, jacketed and bundled until we could hardly see him. Two loose sweaters hung about his neck. A coil of rope was hung at his side, and over all was a heavy blanket-roll. We hurried to him. "It's Ben Jensen," cried Al in wild excitement. So it proved to be, and Ben Jensen could not have been any more pleased to have found his very own than he was to see us three tired, hungry, tottering boys. "How did you know to come? " said Phil, after the first exclamations. "Saw the paper," he panted; "saw the flash from the summit. Made up my mind that such a trick was just like the 'Triumvirate, ' and then I started." "But you told us it couldn't be done," cried Al. "That's just why I was sure you'd try it. I wouldn't have risked myself last night on old Pike's Peak for a cold thousand. You've got the town mad. The high school is out scouring the hills, and your folks--well, you can just imagine. They're simply wild, too. And you must be starved. Here, I stuck these into my pocket. Now go easy, only a little at a time, and chewed well. "Your fathers are coming farther down, but I came on ahead. They are a silent, gloomy lot, all of them. You have frightened them badly, and you'll have to square yourselves." "We can do that," we said in a chorus, and we did by simply telling the...

Download or read book Sierra Stories written by Gary Noy and published by Heyday.ORIM. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Gold Rush Stories shares tales of the larger-than-life characters from the history of the legendary Sierra Nevada mountain range. With its 14,000-foot granite mountains, crystalline lakes, conifer forests, and hidden valleys, the Sierra Nevada has long been the domain of dreams, attracting the heroic and the delusional, the best of humanity and the worst. Stories abound, and characters emerge so outlandish and outrageous that they must be real. Could the human imagination have invented someone like Eliza Gilbert? Born in Limerick, Ireland, in 1818, she transformed herself into Lola Montez, born in Seville, Spain, in 1823, and brought to the Gold Country the provocative “Spider Dance”—impersonating a young woman repelling a legion of angry spiders under her petticoats. Or Otto Esche, who in 1860 imported fifteen two-humped Bactrian camels from Asia to transport goods to the mines. Or the artist Albert Bierstadt, whose paintings Mark Twain characterized as having “more the atmosphere of Kingdom-Come than of California.” Or multimillionaire George Whittell Jr., who was frequently spotted driving around Lake Tahoe in a luxurious convertible with his pet lion in the front seat. These, and scores more, spill out of the pages of this well-illustrated and lively tribute to the Sierra by a native son.

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. &
