Softcover. Etat : Very Good. First Edition. Inscribed "To Steven John S. Duryea". Signed copies rarely offered. John Stillman Duryea (1918 - 2006) was a former priest in the Roman Catholic Church. He became nationally famous for announcing that he had done the one thing the Catholic Church will not tolerate - he married. On the same day, he received a letter from the Archbishop of San Francisco, Joseph T. McGucken, informing him that he had been excommunicated by Pope Paul VI. Duryea practiced a unique "ministry of the wilderness" . He led numerous hiking and backpacking trips open to all, regardless of church affiliation or outdoor experience. His welcoming attitude and accepting nature encouraged many people to experience first hand the spiritual power of nature. Duryea was an amateur photographer of above-average talent whose subject was the wilderness he loved and the people who visited it with him. He used an old-fashioned large, heavy Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera that produced medium format (2.4 in) square slides. Signed by Author.…
