Broschur. Condición: Sehr gut. 106 Seiten, zahlr. Abb. Sehr gutes Exemplar. Mit einer privaten Widmung, aus dem Vorbesitz von Irmelin und Reinald Nohal (Paris Bar, Berlin). / EN: Very good copy. With a private dedication, from the previous ownership of Irmelin and Reinald Nohal (Paris Bar, Berlin). - In August of 1861, Mark Twain came upon Lake Tahoe. "We plodded on, two or three hours longer, and at last the Lake burst upon us-a noble sheet of blue water lifted six thousand three hundred feet above the level of the sea, and walled in by a rim of snow-clad mountain peaks that towered aloft full three thousand feet higher still.As it lay there with the shadows of the mountains brilliantly photographed upon its still surface I thought it must surely be the fairest picture the whole earth affords." The words of Mark Twain, then a Virginia City newspaperman, are a fitting prologue for the images that aerial photographer Robert W. Cameron has created on film for the readers of this book. The first good views of Lake Tahoe's glacially-created waters were noted about 12,000 years earlier by predecessors of Washoe Indian tribes. What a sight they saw! The previous two to four million years of seismic faultings had raised the Sierra Nevada on the West and the Carson Range to the East and created a basin in between. A glacier filled the basin and the ice remained for centuries. As the Pleistocene ice age warmed, the melt down created the "Big Water" or "Tahoe" as the Indians came to call the lake.The first non-natives to see the lake-February 14, 1844-were Captain John C. Fremont and his guide Kit Carson. They were in the neighborhood searching for a new path to California. Settlers and tourists have been coming to America's largest ' Alpine lake ever since.
