Everett Ruess was twenty years old when he vanished into the
canyonlands of southern Utah, spawning the myth of a romantic
desert wanderer that survives to this day. It was 1934, and Ruess
was in the fifth year of a quest to record wilderness beauty in
works of art whose value was recognized by such contemporary
artists as Dorothea Lange, Ansel Adams, and Edward Weston. From his
home in Los Angeles, Ruess walked, hitchhiked, and rode burros up
the California coast, along the crest of the Sierra Nevada, and
into the deserts of the Southwest. In the first probing biography
of Everett Ruess, acclaimed environmental historian Philip L.
Fradkin goes beyond the myth to reveal the realities of Ruess's
short life and mysterious death and finds in the artist's
astonishing afterlife a lonely hero who persevered.
