Notes, Links, Reading, Contact, Etc.

All the wonderful line drawings are by Leland Curtis from Bulletins of the 30's.

 

This collection will eventually live with the Sierra Club Archives at the Bancroft Library, University of California, Berkeley. They do not have the resources to scan and catalog this material so I will do my best in the meantime.

 

 

Some Great Links:

Early Days in the Range of Light    

 LA Times article: The Climb of His Life

Harv Galic's: Lonely Grave in the Sierra

Bill Oliver's Tributes to Clyde, Eichorn, and Dawson

Extra special thanks to Mark Goudy and Liza Riddle

I couldn't do this without their help.
