[pct-l] Sierra Club groups

[Stephen]

Trekker,
The SC has a rich history and if you ever get a chance, some of the early SC 
journals have good stories about the early goings on like the big summer 
trips, and winters at Yosemite etc...
Also, the some of the early clubbers were prominent in Cailfornia history. 
Understanding how policy has evolved in the Sierra and other backcountry 
areas is related to the SC in ways that make it worth knowing about how the 
club got started and evolved through its first fifty years.
