Author Daniel Arnold retraces the steps of 15 early mountain climbers who explored the Sierra Nevada range between 1864 and 1931. They did it without any modern equipment, and Arnold did the same thing — climbing in their footsteps, without modern mountaineering gear.

Arnold’s book, “Early Days in the Range of Light” is a historical trip back into the wilderness and into the minds of the explorers who mapped the range.
