Buch Erstausgabe Signiert
Hardcover. Stated First Edition. Octavo. Grey and black boards. 25 photographs. 334 pp. Signed by author David Roberts on title page. "Washburn's remarkable achievements -- including nine first ascents of North American peaks -- would stamp him not only as one of a kind, but, as one of a Boston Brahmin family whose roots trace back to the Mayflower, this highly intelligent, impatient and stubborn iconoclast published books, made a monumental first ascent in the French Alps that would become a touchstone in mountaineering history, and lectured on his adventures -- including an address to the National Geographic Society -- while still in his teens. In 1935, at the age of twenty-four, while others were turning their attention to the Himalaya, the Harvard-educated Washburn led a three-month journey across what was then the largest remaining unexplored territory in North America -- the 6,400 square miles of glaciers and mountains in the frozen heart of Alaska's Saint Elias Range. In addition to his prowess as a mountaineer and photographer, Washburn was also a renowned surveyor and cartographer, producing maps of little-known terrain -- the Grand Canyon, Mt. McKinley, and Mt. Everest -- that surpassed those that came before, and several of which remain the standard." (front flap). Near Fine in Near Fine Dustjacket.
