About the author
Born in 1864 near Canandaigua, New York, John H. Williams worked in newspaper and magazine publishing in several cities before becoming known for richly illustrated books about western scenery. Sources available here identify him as both a writer and publisher, with work connected to Tacoma and the Pacific Coast.
He is best remembered for books such as The Mountain That Was God (1910), The Guardians of the Columbia (1912), and Yosemite and Its High Sierra (published in later editions, including 1921). These works focused on major landscapes of the American West and helped present places like Mount Rainier and Yosemite to a wide general audience.
