The Nature of Lake Tahoe - A Photographic History, 1860-1960 (Hardcover)

The Sierra Nevada contains three national parks, twenty wilderness areas, and two national monuments. Lake Tahoe, the largest alpine lake in North America, is its crown jewel. A premier destination for tourists and environmentalists and the traditional home of the Washoe people, the history of Lake Tahoe and the Tahoe Basin is a complex mixture of geology, conquest and resettlement, industry, adventure, and grand vistas. Preserving this rich history through an extensive collection of archival images, Peter Goin presents a photographic history of the Tahoe Basin over a hundred-year period in The Nature of Lake Tahoe. With more than two hundred duotone and color photographs, this collection showcases Tahoe's elemental identity, including photographs never before reproduced and large-scale panoramic landscapes that appear in visually stunning gatefolds. Readers will be delighted by the many restored photographs that provide evidence that Lake Tahoe is what it is today in large part because of its dramatic visual history.
