The North Cascades

Seattle, WA: The Mountaineers, 1964.

Hardcover. Near Fine in a Near Fine dust jacket. 94 pp, with bibliography, maps, line drawings, and spectacular black and white photographs of the peaks, passes, and valleys of the North Cascades. A fine copy but for one small stain on the title page. Dust jacket has mild edgewear and one short (1/4 inch) closed tear. Published shortly before Congress was to take up the question of whether North Cascades should be designated a National Park, and explicitly intended to promote public awareness of the beauty of the area, which was threatened by both mining and logging interests.
