[pct-l] Starr's Guide to the JMT

[Deems]

I have a cherished first edition 1934, signed by his father, Walter Starr 
Sr. If only guide books were written with the passion and adventurous spirit 
that Peter Starr gave us in his words. The early Starr editions describe 
Sierra trails that are no longer maintained, and a JMT that few hikers would 
know today. I've read the "Missing in the Minarets" book and it is one of 
the finest searches ever documented in the Sierra. If you love Sierra 
history, I recommend it.

That's great to hear those books are still around. I read "Missing in the 
Minarets" by William Alsup--a wonderful recount of the search for Starr and 
in the telling, some great history of the region.

My 1962 Starr's Guide also lists trails that have since been abandoned.
I wish I had a summer to just explore the southern sierra and it's
abandoned trails... A nice goal!!!
