Detailed Product Description

Louisville, 1943, 1st edition. 78 pp, ills. A good, if short, biography of the well-known mountaineering Episcopal priest & pastor of several churches, including Holy Trinity Church in Harlem. The Rev. Nichols' mountaineering credentials are as impressive as his ecclesiastical ones: from 1881 a member of Appalachian Alpine Club. One of the founders & a president of the American Alpine Club. Founder of the Harvard Alpine Club.

'For more than sixty years he climbed in the White Mountains', climbing Mount Washington over 250 times. Charles Wilcox's great work on the Selkirk Mountains of British Columbia devotes several pages to Nichols' account of being one of the first American climbers in those high & rugged mountains west of the Canadian Rockies. He ascended Mt. Fox in 1893. Hardcover, No Dust Jacket, Very Good.

SIGNED on the FEP, "To Cl;air and David, with all good wished, from Bert."
