My
First Summer in the Sierra (John Muir Library)
by John Muir
John Muir, a young Scottish immigrant, had not yet become the famed
conservationist whom he liked to call "John o' the Mountains" when he first
trekked into the foothills of the Sierra Nevada not long after the end
of the Civil War. Having caught a glimpse of such magical places as Tuolumne
Meadows and El Capitan, Muir ached to return, and in the summer of 1869
he signed on with a crew of shepherds and drove a flock of 2,500 woolly
critters toward the headwaters of the Merced River.
The diary he kept while tending sheep forms the heart of My First Summer
in the Sierra; published in 1911, it enticed thousands of Americans to
visit the Yosemite country. The book is full of the concerns Muir would
later voice as America's foremost preservationist and wildlands advocate,
which would bear fruit in the creation of several national parks and monuments.
And it resounds with Muir's nearly pantheistic regard for the natural world:
with celebrations of the Sierra's lizards that "dart about on the hot rocks,
swift as dragonflies," its mountain lions and tall trees and fierce thunderstorms
and bears; with Muir's overarching awe for places that civilization had
yet to tame. Though perhaps a little purple by modern standards, Muir's
book continues to inspire readers to seek out such places for themselves
and make them their own--and as such it stands among the enduring classics
of environmental literature. --Gregory McNamee - Amazon.com

Newspaper Days : A History of Journalism in the Silver State
by Jake Highton
Book Description This book fills a gap in the history of Nevada.
Ranging from the 1860s to the present, the author details, in a scholarly
manner, the development of the state's newspaper industry, recounting a
few familial stories and the work of some famous Nevada newspapermen. More
attention is given to the scarcely-known stories of mining camp journalism,
the hoaxes disseminated, the ethnic newspapers along with the coverage
of ethnic-centered events, and the politics and activities of the present
newspaper empires.
