I am working on a biography of Norman Clyde (1885-1972), nature writer and mountaineer who made numerous first ascents in the Sierra Nevada and elsewhere. I am interested in hearing from anyone who has firsthand knowledge of Clyde, and who is willing to share their stories (as well as photos and letters, if possible) with me.
