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. 606 $aPoets, American$y20th century$vBiography 606 $aExplorers$zSouthwest, New$vBiography 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPoets, American 615 0$aExplorers 676 $a811/.52 676 $aB 700 $aFradkin$b Philip L$01041009 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456599703321 996 $aEverett Ruess$92484677 997 $aUNINA
