Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

""Mountaineering In The Sierra Nevada"" is a classic book written by Clarence King that details his experiences exploring and climbing the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California during the late 1800s. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is a narrative of King's adventures in the Sierra Nevada, including descriptions of the landscape, flora and fauna, and his encounters with Native American tribes. The second part is a technical guide to mountaineering in the Sierra Nevada, including information on routes, equipment, and techniques for climbing and exploring the region. The book is considered a seminal work in the history of American mountaineering and is still widely read and studied today. It provides a fascinating glimpse into the early days of exploration and mountaineering in the western United States, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the Sierra Nevada or the development of outdoor recreation in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
