Everett Ruess (1914-1934) was an artist and writer who explored the deserts of the southwest, invariably alone. He was known for cutting linoleum prints of nature and associated with Ansel Adams and Dorothea Lange. His prints show scenes from the Monterey Bay coast, the northern California coast near Tomales Bay, the Sierras, Utah, and Arizona. Ruess' father was a Unitarian minister, and the family moved often.
