Today, we have an interview with Dean King. King is an award-winning author of ten nonfiction books. Dean relishes the adventures involved in making history come to life while at the same time diligently searching out the truth and turning up new historical detail. The focus of our conversation is his newest book Guardians of the Valley: John Muir and the Friendship That Saved Yosemite. Please enjoy this fascinating conversation.
