LAKE OF THE SKY: Lake Tahoe in the High Sierras of California and Nevada. by George Wharton James.
This book (in abridged form here) has long been a standard history of Lake Tahoe--telling how the lake was
discovered by Fremont while he was what we would today call lost, how it got its name (at
first, names), how it was formed, and how it was first used and developed. Author James
was a prolific writer early in the 20th century, and did a number of other books on
Western travel sites, as well as a technique manual showing how Indians made their
baskets. His text in "Lake of the Sky" affirms that this was a favorite site of
his, where he returned often. Abridged edition reprinted from the 1915 original. Period illustrations. 96 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.
ISBN-10: 0-89646-038-X. ISBN-13: 978-0-89646-038-6.

MONARCH, the Big Bear of Tallac in the Lake Tahoe High
Sierra (CA). by Ernest Thompson Seton.
This classic wildlife story was created just after 1900, when a few California grizzly
bears, like Monarch, still did roam the Sierra; now they roam only on California's state flag.
It is a story of the sad life of one of the last wild grizzlies who lived near Tallac, the
high mountain rising above Lake Tahoe's west shore, still wild country today, located
in the Desolation Basin Wilderness Area. The book Monarch was written for
children, but like all truly classic children's literature is excellent reading for
adults, too. Author Seton left many wildlife works for us, such as Wild Animals I
Have Known and The Biography of a Grizzly and was also a practical
leader, founding the Woodcraft League, forerunner of today's Boy Scouts. His museum is at
the scouts' Philmont Ranch in New Mexico. 100 drawings from the original, by the author, are included. 168 pages. Covers lightly scuffed. Limited supply. See sample pages, illustrations.
ISBN-10: 0-89646-040-1. ISBN-13: 978-0-89646-040-9. Order #: VIST0040 paper$12.95.
