Our mountains are not in the middle kingdom

Letter from Andy Burns

Montane literature – January 2003 – Colorado Central Magazine

Colorado Central:

In “Books to Match Our Mountains,” [December edition] Mark W. Williams suggested Mountains of the Middle Kingdom: Exploring the High Peaks of China & Tibet as a book to read for “someone who wants to know more about the heritage, challenges, and wonders of life in the mountain west.” I wonder if he could explain that.

Andy:

You have a point, but I’m afraid we merely asked permission to reprint this Tattered Covered book list, and have no connection with the author — or we would ask. As it is, I was thinking of reading this selection to temporarily escape, rather than learn about, the “challenges” of life in the Mountain West.
