"This reprint by the Mountaineers reproduces exactly the text of the original 1948 printing of Don Munday's classic story of mountaineering adventure. As A.P. Coleman introduced the book, 'By their courage and determination the Mundays have disclosed to the climbing world one of the most splendid regions of high mountains and vast glaciers in America.' From 1926 onwards, Don Munday, the Canadian mountaineer, always accompanied by his wife, made yearly trips to Mount Waddington. It was not until ten years later, in 1936, that the conquest of the 13,000 ft. mountain was completed. This is the whole story of the pioneer adventure that put this 'Unknown Mountain' on the map, written exactly and excitingly as only a mountaineer could write it and illustrated by excellent climbers' photographs taken by the author and his wife.".…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. The Unknown Mountain - First Edition, First Printed May 1948 in Publisher's original blue cloth boards with bright gilt lettering on the spine, original Dust Jacket placed in Mylar. This classic work chronicles Canadian mountaineer Don Munday's pioneering expeditions to British Columbia's Coast Mountains, culminating in the historic conquest of Mount Waddington, often referred to as "Mystery Mountain." The narrative describes the rugged terrain, vast glaciers, and the challenges faced during these early explorations. The book features a black and white frontispiece and numerous additional photographic plates showcasing stunning mountain landscapes, glaciers, and climbing routes. A large, detailed folding sketch map of a portion of the Coast Mountains, drawn by W. A. Don Munday in 1937, is present. The pictorial dust jacket features an illustration by Bip Pares. Don Munday (Walter Alfred Don Munday, 1894-1950) was a legendary Canadian mountaineer, explorer, and author. Along with his wife, Phyllis Munday, he led groundbreaking expeditions into the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, particularly focusing on the elusive peak then known as "Mystery Mountain," which would later be officially named Mount Waddington. Their relentless efforts, spanning from 1926, are a testament to early Canadian mountaineering spirit and exploration. "The Unknown Mountain" is Munday's personal account of these expeditions, making it a cornerstone work in mountaineering literature and an essential piece for collectors interested in Canadian history, exploration, and alpine adventure. The book provides an invaluable firsthand record of the challenges and triumphs associated with discovering and mapping one of North America's most formidable mountain ranges.
