I still have this tattered old guide book that I bought in 1953. It is: "Guide
to the John Muir Trail and the High Sierra Region" by Walter A Starr, Jr. It was
first published in 1934, a year after Starr's death. Starr was lost while
climbing in the Minarets An extensive search followed. His body was finally
found by Norman Clyde My copy was published by the Sierra Club in 1953. It
measures 5" x 7.5" x 3/8' thick and weighs just over 5 ounces. It is the only
guidebook I used during my early wanderings in the Sierra.
Do any old-timers on this list remember this guidebook?
