Detailed Product Description

Original brown and cream hardcover with black illustration on cover and brown slipcase. Fine. SIGNED AND INSCRIBED ''To Marjorie and Herbert Evans With happy recollections of companionship in Sierra meadows from Francis P. Farquhar June 3, 1934'' Dr Herbert Evans was an MD and researcher, as well as a collector of rare books. That rare book collecting may be the link that connects him to Francis Farquhar. Francis Farquhar (December 31, 1887 - November 1974) was an active Sierra Club Member and served as President during 1933 - 1935 and 1948 -1949. He also served as the Sierra Club Bulletin editor during 1926 - 1946. Farquhar was a mountaineer who introduced the proper use of roped climbing to Sierra Club members during a club trip in 1931. This book describes an ascent in 1914 of Mt. Olympus, and a tribute to Farquhar's friend Phoutrides. [Neate F04.] He made multiple first ascents including the Middle Palisades during 1921, the last unclimbed 14,000' peak in the US. The Sierra Club annually awards the Francis P. Farquhar Mountaineering Award for a lifetime of mountaineering achievement. The award honors an individual's contribution to mountaineering and enhancement of the Sierra Club's prestige in this field. Farquhar ranks with John Muir and William Colby in his influence upon the Sierra Club and the conservation movement.
