About Diana Lindsay

In 1966 Diana Lindsay figuratively went into the desert and never came out. That first visit to the Anza-Borrego Desert changed her life and helped to define it. It became the subject of her master's thesis from San Diego State University, which was subsequently published as Our Historic Desert by Copley Books in 1973. A few years later, she co-authored The Anza-Borrego Desert Region, a guidebook to the area published by Wilderness Press in 1978. It is now in its 5th edition. Other titles have been subsequently published.

Nicholas Clapp

About Nicholas Clapp

  Award-winning documentary filmmaker and author Nicholas Clapp has studied, filmed, and written about the deserts of the world. With a master’s degree in cinema from the University of Southern California, his first professional break came when he produced and directed The Great Mojave Desert, a one-hour special for CBS and the National Geographic Society. He has won over 70 major film awards for his documentary work.

    As an author, his distinguished previous publications include The Road to Ubar: Finding the Atlantis of the Sands and Sheba: Through the Desert in Search of the Legendary Queen. His interest in the Queen of Sheba drew him to the story of the Queen of Sheba Mine in Death Valley and to its mining engineer, leading to his last work, Who Killed Chester Pray? It was while researching for this book that Clapp discovered the many rare photographs of America’s Last Frontier. With the detailed eye of a cinematographer, Clapp has noted the most exacting details in each of the photographs selected for this book — a final look at life on this Last Frontier.
