Walking Where We Lived, Memoirs of a Mono Indian Family By: Gaylen D. Lee
A thought provoking, and sometimes disturbing, remembrance
through 6 generations of Gaylen Lee's family. Walk through the Sierra
Nevada where his ancestors lived for centuries. View from the Mono
Indian's point of view the results of America's "Manifest Destiny" and
the Mariposa Indian Wars. It is yet another retelling of the broken
promises of the United States Government, and also the California Legislature,
in the treatment of these people who had occupied this land for centuries.
Gaylen Lee shares his family's story through their rituals, their language,
their vanished way of life, and some of their legends. There are
many footnoted quotes from other reports which verify stories handed down
from his ancestors. But mostly, Gaylen Lee tells his story with grace,
good humor, and a sense of acceptance of what has changed their lives forever.
The words of his grandmother sustain him, "Aispaha', Don't worry.
It's okay."

of providing research of the Sierra in Winter, and also with the hope that
"something might come from his mountain
photography". This book, filled with many of Bartholomew's
winter photos, chronicles his trek from the Owens Valley on Christmas Day
1928, to the top of Mt. Whitney (the first assent of Whitney in Winter)
and ending in Yosemite Valley on April 3, 1929. The author, Gene

Mountaineering in the Sierra, has brought the journey
to life in his fascinating book gleaned from the scientific notes and observations
which Bartholomew made in his dairy.
