back cover: Crater Lake has inspired awe and
admiration since the first human set eyes on it. This
uniquely beautiful "Mountain With A Hole In The Top," with
its deep blue water and striking volcanic forms, is the
setting of many legends and stories, and artists have tried
for generations to capture its features in paintings and
photographs. The lake and the surrounding national park seem
to bring out the best in writers and photographers. The
serene nature of the natural setting touches something
inside them that leads to clear expression and heightened
vision. It has also inspired scientists to explore and
catalog those natural wonders, and they too have been
inspired by what they found. We are indeed fortunate that
this natural temple has been preserved for all of us and for
those yet to come.
This volume celebrates the history of Crater
Lake National Park with a collection of memoirs, interviews,
fiction, original articles and photographs. It was specially
commissioned by the Board of Governors of the Shaw
Historical Library.
