Anotácia knihy

Excerpt from Mount McKinley and Mountain Climbers' Proofs Mountain ascents were few and far between before the middle of the nineteenth century A. D. Occasionally only, some solitary individual became sufficiently interested in some mountain or other to try to reach its summit. The great public took no interest whatever in mountains. With the in creasing congestion of population in huge cities, however, it became more and more usual for people to take breathing spells in the country, and some of these persons found their legs a pleasant means of locomotion. In time it was discovered that rocky fastnesses Offer specially favorable ground for stretching the muscles of the lower limbs, and certain men began to try to reach craggy or snowy summits as a relaxation and a sport. The num ber of these men increased. Finally, between 1856 to 1858, the English Alpine Club was formed,1 and following this example, other Alpine Clubs were gradually founded.
