From the archive: Clarence King’s Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada (1871 and 1902)/ - Sage, 2020. - Vol 44, issue 3, 2020 : ( 435–440 p.).
Clarence King’s Mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada, based on exploration and mountaineering exploits undertaken in the 1860s and 1870s, is a somewhat forgotten piece of literature that is worthy of rediscovery. The book provides still-accurate general descriptions of the physical geography of the Sierra Nevada as well as Mount Shasta in the US state of California. This “from the archive” piece examines this book as well as the life and career of its author, Clarence King.
