Solomons of the Sierra
The Pioneer of the John
Muir Trail
by Shirley
Sargent
Foreword by Richard H. Dillon
Theodore S.
Solomons was a charter member of both the Sierra Club and the American Alpine Club.
He knew John Muir, Will Colby, Walter Starr, and Francis Farquhar. In the 1890s he
explored the Sierra from Yosemite to Kings Canyon—and discovered the route that
became the northern part of the John Muir Trail.
"Pioneer
explorer of the Sierra summits, seeker of adventure and fortune throughout his 77
years, writer of fact and fiction from Nome to Hollywood, Shirley Sargent has given us his
rambunctious life in bright colors." (J. S. Holliday.)
Cover illustration: A painting of the Merced Grove of Big
Trees, by Theodore S. Solomons.
