Review of On Desert Trails With Everett Ruess (Paperback)

A chilling voice out of the past from one who loved wilderness so much he vanished without a trace in it.I am hard pressed to come up with a book or person who was able to articulate the beauty around him more than Everett Ruess.In a tragic twist this lover of the purity nature gave and continues to give a painter's perspective in words to the American west despite the mysterious circumstances surrounding his disappearance.He left behind not only the beautiful writings of a master (and at such a young age) but also a mysterious tale of intrigue that leaves people guessing to this very day.Was he a victim of murder or did his love for wilderness drive him into the vast unknown to live out his days in the peaceful tranquility only nature can provide?Buy the book and formulate your own opinions.I highly recommend it.
