Mystery of Everett Ruess, by W. L. Rusho (Author), W.L Rusho (Editor), is the first full length book about the disappearance of Ruess, a young man who wandered the dessert south-west only to disappear at the age of twenty in the Escalante region of southern Utah.
Rusho wrote this book in the 80s, so he had the benefit of interviewing people who were still alive and had know Ruess. So, there is an immediacy to this account that is lacking in the other two books about Ruess.
This book is a pastiche . Part narrative, part explication, part mystery drama, Rusho fills in the narrative of Ruess' life with skill.
With only three books about Ruess out there, this is a necessary read.
