When he vanished without a trace in November 1934, Ruess left behind thousands of pages of journals, letters, and poems, as well as more than a hundred watercolor paintings and blockprint engravings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEverett Ruess is hailed as a paragon of solo exploration, while the mystery of his death remains one of the greatest riddles in the annals of American adventure.

More than seventy-five years after his vanishing, Ruess stirs the kinds of passion and speculation accorded such legendary doomed American adventurers as \u003ci\u003eInto the Wild's \u003c\/i\u003eChris McCandless and Amelia Earhart.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDavid Roberts\u003c\/b\u003e was the author of more than twenty books on mountaineering, adventure, and history, including \u003ci\u003eNo Shortcuts to the Top, K2\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe Will to Climb, \u003c\/i\u003ewhich he co-wrote with Ed Viesturs and a memoir \u003ci\u003eOn The Ridge Between Life and Death\u003c\/i\u003e.
