Description

Between the Icebox and the Stairs is a coming of age story embedded in memories of a special time and place. In 1985 the authors challenged each other to record their recollections of Tuolumne County as they knew it in the 1950's, a project which eventually led to the creation of the book. When Elizabeth Knuchen, the over-protected daughter of middle-aged parents, purchases her first horse, just two months after her fourteenth birthday, she escapes on horseback, headlong into a new-found freedom of self-reliance, belonging and responsibility within a sub-culture of " summer cowboys " and seasoned packers guiding tourists, fishermen, and hunters into the Emigrant Basin Wilderness. Jarrit Trover, the District Ranger's son, proud owner of real cowboy boots and a hat, is somewhat younger than Liz, and, initially, Liz is his nemesis. Their relationship gradually shifts to a companionable truce, compatibility, and eventually true friendship and a tentative exploration of something more, but is shattered by events beyond their control. What remains is their shared dream of special place in the mountains. Jo DeEds (AKA Joanne Knowles) was born in San Francisco but discovered the magic of the Sierra Nevada in childhood and never really looked back. She attended Stanford University, San Jose State, and the University of San Francisco, garnering a BA, an MA, and some lifetime credentials. She lives in Columbia, California, with an overgrown, unmanageable yard and far too many horses. James L. Reveal (AKA simply as Jim Reveal) is a retired professor of botany who spent thirty years at the University of Maryland and is now an adjunct professor at Cornell University. Born in Reno, Nevada, but raised in California, he moved with his family to the mountain resort of Pinecrest in 1947. Jim attended Utah State University and received his doctorate from Brigham Young University. He is the author of more than 500 scientific papers and books on systematic botany and botanical history.
