Detailed Product Description

NY, 1950. 338 pp, photos. Then justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Douglas talks of the geography and history of the Cascade and Wallowa mountains through his personal experiences there. Hardcover, No DJ, VG-Fine.

Biography of the climber, hiker and Supreme Court Justice. The author recounts his experiences climbing and exploring in the Cascade Mountains, Washington State, between 1914 and 1949.

When Bill Douglas was a child, he nearly died of infantile paralysis. To build back the strength in his wasted legs, he started hiking through the sage-covered foothills around his home in Yakima, Washington. The cure worked; and year by year he pushed his explorations further into the tangled, rugged mountains of the Pacific Northwest.

Of Men and Mountains is a book of personal adventure and discovery - an account of the way Douglas and other men managed to find a richer life in the mountains, and how they found something else besides. Its pages are filled with the stories of the sheepherders, Native Americans, fishermen, and foresters who learned to survive in the wilderness, to enjoy it, and to learn the secret of the true serenity of spirit.
