November 6, 2010, Jack Carlson and Elizabeth Stewart will be the featured authors. 

As many of you know the Superstition Museum Gift Shop has an excellent selection of books specific to our beautiful Sonoran Desert. One such book is the Superstition Wilderness Trails East, Hikes, Horse Rides, and History by Jack Carlson and Elizabeth Stewart.  At the recent Arizona Book Publishers Association Awards Jack Carlson and Elizabeth Stewart were honored with two awards. Out of the three categories they entered, History, Recreation, and Regional, they won two prestigious awards, one for the Best Regional Book, and the other for the Best Recreational Book.

Superstition Wilderness Trails East describes the trails in the eastern half of the Superstition Wilderness. The companion book called A Hiker’s Guide to the Superstition Wilderness covers the west half of the Superstition Wilderness.  If you enjoy hiking, horseback riding, and history, this book is a must for your back pack. The book will give you detailed information about the trails including potential hazards for horses and well documented history, legends, and lore of the Superstition Wilderness areas.
