Seller's Description:
Like New. Size: 13x10x0; Softcover. Good binding and cover. Clean, unmarked pages. 128 pages: illustrations, maps; 24 x 29 cm. Dr. Bradford Washburn is one of the most extraordinary Alaskan figures of all time--despite never having lived in the north. Scaling unclimbed mountains in Alaska and the Yukon more than half a century ago, Washburn recorded day-to-day details of his historic expeditions in personal diaries. He also took large-format black and white photographs as breath-taking today as the unworldly mountain and glacier terrain he explored then.
