Mt. Shasta - History, Legend & Lore
Product Description
by Michael Zanger
We are very sorry to report (November 2007) that this wonderful book currently is out of print. Should it be reprinted, we will add it back onto our available books.
"Mt. Shasta stands in solitary dominance as the most striking mountain in Northern California. Its power exerts itself first on the eyes. To see the mountain from a distance is to experience a transformative awareness of something larger and more beautiful than its mere physical presence. Mt. Shasta is not only visually stunning, but also carries a rich history of exploration and legend, mythical and spiritual odyssey, and contemporary environmental debate." - from the Introduction
Shasta guide and scholar Michael Zanger draws on a wide range of traditions and sources to present the most complete history of the mountain ever written. Native American legends, tales from early explorers and Gold Rush Forty-niners, and accounts of geological discoveries are accompanied by hundreds of period maps, photos, engravings, and documents. Beautifully illustrated, this book is a tribute to one of North America's great natural treasures.
