The Illuminated Landscape: A Sierra Nevada Anthology (A California Legacy)

The essays, poetry, and stories presented in The Illuminated Landscape encompass the entire Sierra Nevada experience: an ancient Yokuts Indian creation myth, vignettes of life in mining camps, a curious deer taking a stroll through Bettle Rock, the impact of a simple camping trip, the solace found by a family held in an internment camp, and an attempt to climb Matterhorn Peak. Excerpts from well-known writers as well as original works from local authors combine to reveal the beauty of the Sierra and how important the "Range of Light" has become to our-cultural psyche as an irreplaceable refuge for our spirits. "This is a remarkable anthology, taking the reader chronologically from the dawn of time to environmental issues of today. This book belongs on every bookshelf of the best-of-the-best of Californiana."---W.R. Swagerty, Director, John Muir Center, University of the Pacific
