From it humble beginnings atop the Santa Rosa Mountains with founders Randall Henderson and J Wilson McKenney, through the glory years with Jack and Choral Pepper and finally ending with the American Desert magazine courtesy of Joan Brooks. To complete the series
we have also included issues of the new Dezert magazine which is a new generation of dedicated desert enthusiasts. Desert magazine has been a staple of information to many a wandering passionist.
