TRAIL OF THE FIRST WAGONS OVER THE SIERRA NEVADAS: A Guide by Charles K. Graydon (The Patrice Press: $16.95: 114 pp., illustrated). Graydon has spent nearly 20 years searching for traces of the trail that brought thousands of settlers and gold-seekers to California. Using U.S. Geological Survey maps, he retraces the route from Reno, past Truckee and Nevada City, to Johnson’s Ranch and Sacramento. Experienced hikers and readers with four-wheel drive vehicles may want to follow this historic road through the rugged Eastern slopes of the Sierras.
