2000. 112 pp, photos, maps. Photo history of Denali and its park, with chapters on early climbs. New Paperback.
At the beginning of the century, Mt. McKinley, now renamed Denali, was as remote as the North Pole and Antartica and as alluring: it attracted explorers and adventurers from all over the world.
This exciting collection of 125 archival photographs documents the origins and establishment of one of America's greatest nature preserves, explores the story of the area's Native peoples, the Kantishna Gold Rush, the great climbing expeditions to the Top of the Continent, and the adventures of the early park rangers.
