In 1973, Matthiessen and field biologist George Schaller went into the high Himalayas to study Himalayan Blue sheep and to pursue the rare Snow Leopard. One of the few studies of the Himalayas that is so well-written, you actually feel deprived and chilled as you read it. Matthiessen was one of our best nature writers.
