Book Description

May 1, 1989
Discover California's Mt. Tamalpais, a place unique on Earth.

From its unusual east-west coastal orientation to its past as witness to Native American/Euroamerican confrontation, this Northern California ridge on the Pacific Rim speaks volumes about the worldviews of two vastly different cultures and the history of America's west, while continuing to offer adventure to the hiker and a treasure trove to the naturalist.

Anyone anywhere with a love for mountains or mythologies will value Dreams of Tamalpais. Includes antique maps and 200 b/w photos.
