Many of them seek\r\ninformation about the discoveries and explorations of the\r\nmountain and its environs. Much of the information\r\nsought, especially that about the origin of place names, has\r\nnever been published. The annals of discovery and exploration,\r\nwhich have been published, have often appeared\r\nin books, pamphlets, or periodicals not easily accessible.\r\nIt is the purpose of this work to gather the essential portions\r\nof the desired information within a compact, usable\r\nform.\nDuring the summer of 1915, the mountain was for the\r\nfirst time encircled by a large company of travelers. Small\r\nparties, carrying their luggage and provisions on their\r\nbacks, had made the trip a number of times. The Mountaineers\r\nClub, in 1915, conducted a party of one hundred,\r\nwith fully equipped pack train and commissary, around the\r\nmountain. They camped each evening at or near the\r\nsnow-line. At the daily campfires extracts were read from\r\nthe original sources of the mountain's history. The interest\r\nthere manifested in such records gave additional impulse to\r\nthe preparation of this book.\nIt is natural that the chronological order should be\r\nchosen in arranging the materials, beginning with the discovery\r\nand naming of the mountain by Captain George\r\nVancouver of the British Navy. The records are then continued\r\nto the present time. There still remains to be done\r\nmuch scientific work on the glaciers, snowfields, rocks, and\r\nplants within the Park. It is hoped that this book may\r\nstimulate such field work as well as the publication of the\r\nresults.[viii]\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 42314 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Meany, Edmond S.
