I found out the book Finding Everett Ruess: The Life and Unsolved Disappearance of a Legendary Wilderness Explorer, by David Roberts, is on sale in its Kindle form for just $1.99. I’m not sure how long the deal’s going to last, though.
I had Everett on Charley years ago — he disappeared from Utah in 1934. Then there was big news cause they thought his skeletal remains had been found, and I removed him and put up a resolved notice. Then it turned out the remains weren’t his. But I’ve never put him back up.
Thought y’all would like to know about this. I’ve never read the book, but if you’ve got a Kindle and a spare two bucks, it seems worth checking out.
I have this book, and it’s really good. Of course, I’m from Utah and I’m familiar with many of the places he explored here, but either way, it’s a very interesting case.
Happy New Year, Meaghan!
Thank you. I will look into getting this. For podcast listeners, season 2 of CBC radio Someone Knows Something has been out and is excellent. Also, CBC Missing and Murdered: Who Killed Alberta Williams discusses one of the many Highway of Tears missing/murdered indeginous women cases. Well worth the listen. Fantastic investigative journalism.
