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! About Fine, and INSCRIBED by Balch, 'Judge James R. MacFarlane with the regards of the author December 1914.' Also has the accession rubber stamp of the Library of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh PA, presented by Miss Elizabeth MacFarlane in 1948. This copy has no other library marks, so is not really Ex Lib as so many of Balch's books are. Cover bright, Near Fine or Fine.
