Summary and Background
Scope and Content
The first folder in this subseries contains what appears to be the typed draft of a book-length manuscript on Mineral King, though the author is not stated anywhere in the draft. The material provides useful background information on the cultural and physical history of Mineral King as well as details of the Disney project controversy and litigation.
The second folder contains flyers and other typed and printed information on Mineral King, including the controversy over the proposed Disney project. One eight-page manuscript--probably intended as a pamphlet-- is titled "Mineral King: National Game Refuge or Disney Wonderland?" and was authored by the Mineral King Task Force of the Sierra Club in 1970. Much of the information in many of the flyers and intended pamphlets appears to have come from Pat Adler's "Mineral King Guide." (The actual guide is in Folder 12.)
