ABOUT THE AUTHORS
Richard and Lois Deeter along with their two sons, J.D. and
Nathanael, are presently making their home in the mountain valley
environment of Sierra Christian Farms, within Sequoia National
Forest, California. They are the only year-round residents of the
valley, living there without benefit of electricity, running water,
or telephone. Their nearest neighbor lives six miles distance from
them.
Rick has prepared many years for this experience, receiving
his Bachelor of Arts degree from California State University at
Long Beach in 1967. He specialized in environmental biology.
During the summers between classes, he was employed by the United
States Forest Service in the Minarets District in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains.
Rick has always loved the Sierras, spending much of his time
there since 1958 when his grandfather purchased a cabin in Wilsonia,
a private community within King's Canyon National Park. It was in
this cabin that he delivered Nathanael in February, 1980, just following the purchase he and Lois made of what was known as the "Lower
Weston Meadow" in Sequoia National Forest, adjacent to the park.
Before moving his family to the mountains in 1979, Rick spent
ten years in the construction industry. With the education and actual experience Rick has acquired, he is qualified as an expert in
regard to the subject matter covered in this report. His opinion,
though subjective, has been carefully developed through a knowledge
of the facts and training in how to interpret them.
His wife, Lois Jennison Deeter, is new to the mountain area, but
her appreciation of it is great enough that she is willing to tolerate great hardships as a part of her everyday living experience in
order to be able to live there. Since most of her life has been
spent in the city, learning to live under these difficult circumstances is a constant challenge. Lois is the editor-compiler of this
manuscript, having won numerous national and regional honors in the
field of writing. She has received some training in the medicinal
and edible uses of native plants, and looks forward to expanding this
knowledge while living on the ranch.
