In this book, Terris Moore presents a dramatic account of man’s contest with
\nMcKinley, from initial explorations on into the 1940s. With documented facts
\nand a novelist’s skills, he tackles the mysteries and controversies
\nsurrounding many of the early expeditions. There was the daring 1910 ascent of
\nthe North Peak by a group of Alaska sourdoughs, who carried up a large pole to
\nplant on the top only to discover later that there was another, higher summit.
\nThere was the heartbreaking effort in 1912, by Belmore Browne, who was forced
\nto turn around less than 150 vertical feet from the summit, leaving the top
\nfor Archdeacon Hudson Stuck to achieve in 1913. Perhaps the most widely
\ndiscussed attempt was that of Arctic Explorer Dr. Frederick Cook, who tried to
\nsupport his claim of victory in 1906 with faked photos. With fascinating
\nhistoric photos and maps.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
