Description

Mountaineering in the Kings River Country of Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, 1864. by Clarence King of the California Geological Survey. Historical reprint.

This early ascent of Mount Tyndall at the head of California's King's River (the river is not related to our author) is now classic Western Americana literature. It is mountaineering drama to the extreme, written even when the foothills of the Sierra Nevada were remote enough, let alone peaks at the range crest, such as Tyndall. Clearly showing is the author's love of nature. This writing appeared in several forms before being gathered with others of King's articles in 1872 into Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada, a book still in print! In our little volume we include just material dealing with the Kings River country so that visitors to this region, much of it now in Kings Canyon National Park, can focus. King also conducted the U.S. Geological Exploration of the 40th Parallel, an unexplored line through America's interior, and was first director of the U. S. Geological Survey. He has thd striking Mount Clarence King, a Sierra peak in Kings Canyon National Park, named for him.

Illustrations are added from Picturesque California (1888) and Whitney's The Yosemite Guidebook (1869). 48 pages.
