Sinopsis
This book offers a unique look at a little-known
aspect of immigrant culture in California
and Nevada during the first half of the twentieth
century. The years 1920 to 1950 represented the
high point of the sheep industry in the western
U.S. The mountain meadows of the Sierra Nevada
were an important source of summer forage, and
Basque sheepherders, many recently arrived from
the Pyrenees, were primarily responsible for
tending the flocks.The shepherd's life among the
aspen groves was isolated and solitary, and it
led many herders to utilize the trees as a
means of self-expression. Using simple tools
such as pocket knives or nails, the herders
turned to the white bark of the aspens. On this
living canvas, they etched a remarkable series
of carvings, recording everything from their own
names to observations of the natural world
around them, memories of the Basque Country, and
not surprisingly, erotic fantasies. Over time,
the living and perishable nature of the medium
subtly altered the sheepherders work, and
eventually doomed it. Most of the carvings are
now lost.
