Illustrated by
Rich Lo.
This biography focuses on the ingenuity of Tie Sing, a Chinese American trail cook who in 1915 accompanied millionaire Stephen Mather and a group of influential people on a California camping trip designed to encourage the creation of a national park service--which it did. Lo's pencil drawings and colorful watercolor washes enrich the serviceable story. Photographs and further information are appended. Bib.
