"Very interesting account of the young artist from California who was in love with the Southern Utah area, and who disappeared in 1935. He sent several letters to his family and kept an earlier journal. The latest journal was lost with him. I first heard about him from a sort of folksong that a neighbor wrote and played at a picnic in about 1994."
"I really wanted to read this book. I had it sent in from a lending library and was so excited to get it. It is mostly comprised of diary entries and they are interesting, but many are very, very similar. It's an interesting story and I'm glad I read it, but it wasn't as riviting as I hoped it would be."
"Really interesting to "go to the source" and read about Everett from his own lips after reading all the other stuff about him (Edward Abbey, Jon Krakauer, Mark Taylor, etc.) --- I hope that Rusho is still around to issue an "afterword" with his take on the discovery of Everett's body in the ridge above Comb Wash ... worth the read if you're an Everett fan..."
