Ruby El Hult's Book

Ruby has published four books about her friends the Crislers. She was first published in 1954 and is still writing today. A list of her other books is shown below. The first Herb Crisler, Mountain Man, Builder, Wildlife Photographer speaks of Herb's hardships as on a $500 dollar dare he spent 30 days in the Wilds of the Olympic Mountains with no food or firearm, only with what he could carry. This book is now out of print. Published in 1977 by Herb, Ruby and Ruby's husband it preceeded the publishing of Herb Crisler in the Olympic Mountain Wilds. As you can see the cover text does not match it's title. Ruby used many of the same photo graphs.
