Detailed Product Description
New York, American Alpine Club, 1964. Pages 131-158. Textured grey wraps with black lettering and illustration on front, staple bound. Very Good.
As stated on the front wrap, this pamphlet is "Reprinted from the American Alpine Journal, 1964."
Farquhar details how a Franciscan missionary's apt description of a "great snowy range," The Sierra Nevada, became the name of one of the most famous mountain ranges in the world. He goes on to describe how the various peaks in the range also came by their names.
