It was 1934, and Ruess was in the fifth year of a quest to record wilderness beauty in works of art whose value was recognized by such contemporary artists as Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, and Edward Weston. From his home in Los Angeles, Ruess walked, hitchhiked, and rode burros up the California coast, along the crest of the Sierra Nevada, and into the deserts of the Southwest. In the first probing biography of Everett Ruess, acclaimed environmental historian Philip L. Fradkin goes beyond the myth to reveal the realities of Ruess's short life and mysterious death and finds in the artist's astonishing afterlife a lonely hero who persevered.Poets, American20th centuryBiographyExplorersSouthwest, NewBiography20th century artists.american artists.american disappearances.american legends.american mystery.american southwest.american west.ansel adams.art history.artist biography.crime.criminal investigation.depression era art.dorothea lange.edward weston.great depression.historical disappearances.history.into the wild.mysteries of the west.mysterious death.mystery and adventure.southwestern history.unsolved disappearances.unsolved mysteries.utah artists.utah history.utah mysteries.vagabond artists.Poets, AmericanExplorers811/.52BFradkin Philip L1701861MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817856803321Everett Ruess4108819UNINA
