Detailed Product Description
Philadelphia, 1914, 1st edition. 142 pp. One of the scarcest and most desirable McKinley books. Balch compared the claims of Cook, Browne, Stuck and the Sourdoughs and concludes, falsely, that 'Cook made the first ascent of Mount McKinley; Lloyd [Sourdoughs] the second ascent of the South Peak and the first ascent of the North Peak; Browne an almost complete ascent of the highest summit; and Stuck the third ascent of the South Peak.' Well, at least he got Browne right!
 
This copy has a darkened spine, minor edge wear, Very Good or better. No internal writing, no real flaws, and not Ex Lib (Many Balch books are ex lib).
