Saddle up and ride the winding trails of the Sierra through the pages of this book. In the not so distant past, exploration and settlement of this vast mountain range depended on skillful packers and their resilient mules and horses. All transportation and supply needs were contingent on pack and riding animals. This fascinating historical account outlines the many different entities that contributed to the evolution of the commercial packing industry and to the recreational enjoyment of these vast mountains. The Sierra still offers adventure and solace to visitors wishing to access the immense roadless backcountry, including the National Forest and National Parks. Step back in time to discover this rich packing heritage of the past.
