Questions arise when a big city family moves to a remote mountain town in the Eastern Sierra: Why is there a bear in the grocery store? What happened to the missing school teacher? Where do you buy soccer socks around here? Skillfully blending anecdote, history, and description, The Mammoth Letters is an amusing and sensitive portrayal of an eclectic town and its colorful inhabitants and will inspire anyone who has wondered about making the leap from one world to another. In a book of wide emotional range, readers will discover mystery, beauty, and tragedy in how a majestic but unforgiving alpine wilderness affects those living at its edge.
Had a blast reading this. The author definitely did her homework, and I learned a lot. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or an old time local, you’ll enjoy the Crittenden adventures.
Shields Richardson, Mammoth Lakes Town Councilman and Former Mayor
Funny, fun, and honest, The Mammoth Letters is a fantastic snapshot of life and culture in one of California’s most quirky, charming and remote communities.
Mike Gervais, Mammoth Times Publisher
In the tradition of great storytellers, the author gives us a humorous and informative glimpse into the lives of the intrepid ‘git 'er done’ people who built this community and the trials and tribulations that brought us from the past to the present.
