Detailed Product Description

Tacoma, 1912. 24 pp. An early treatise concerning changing Rainier's name to Tacoma by James Wickersham, who as a Congressman from Alaska was instrumental in creating Mount McKinley National park.

James Wickersham made the first climbing attempt on Mount McKinley in 1903. To finance it, he wrote and published a single issue of a newspaper called The Fairbanks Miner, dated May 1903. He chronicled the expedition, which was aborted at 8000 feet, in his book Old Yukon: Tails, Trails, and Trial, which also recorded his life as a judge in Alaska. The Wickersham Wall on McKinley was named after him. Paper brochure, some soiling, Near Fine.
