SF Chronicle: Best Books of 2022

December 9, 2022 by Backcountry Press 6 Comments

We are proud to say that the San Francisco Chronicle has selected The Klamath Mountains: A Natural History as one of the best nonfiction books of 2022!

Backcountry Press’ handsome, encyclopedic new volume is [. . .] good news for this beautiful chunk of far Northern California.

Editors Michael Kauffmann and Justin Garwood, plus 34 contributing authors, explore and celebrate Klamath ecology and the rich culture of its Yurok, Hupa and other native peoples.

– Peter Fish, San Francisco Chronicle

We’ll add that this is good news for southern Oregon as well. 🙂

Thank you, Peter. We greatly appreciate the acknowledgement!
