Charleston Mountains Described as One of Nature s Gems
Philip Johnston narrates a vivid tour of the Charleston Mountains in Nevada’s Sahara like terrain. He traces their rugged eastern walls, ancient Indian and Mormon histories, and sparse forests where conifers and aspen thrive above 9,000 feet. The piece notes limited water, isolation for naturalists, and the recent detailing by Edmund C. Jeager on geology and flora, with bird lists and plant life forming a nascent catalog of this largely terra incognita range.
