Book Description
Excerpt from A Search for the Apex of America, High Mountain Climbing in Peru and Bolivia Including the Conquest of Huascaran: With Some Observations on the Country and People Below For the cold nights we had sleeping bags consisting of two pairs of blankets in a canvas cover, with a flap to be drawn over the face. It occurred to me to carry Japanese stoves; small, cloth-covered tin boxes which a roll of prepared fuel will heat for two hours. With one of these in each pocket and good mittens, there would be no danger of cold hands. I had also a pair of heavy woollen mitts with long wrists, especially suited for scientific observations on the summit when the fingers must be free. For our further protection we had two tents, one of silk that it might be as light as pos sible, since at great altitudes neither man nor beast can carry half so much as below.

Vertical Margins
Author: Reuben J. Ellis
Publisher: Univ of Wisconsin Press
ISBN: 9780299170042
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 244
Book Description
History meets high-altitude adventure This engaging analysis of twentieth-century imperialism takes early mountaineering beyond the realm of recreation. Vertical Margins sets Halford Mackinder's 1899 climb of Mt. Kenya, Annie Smith Peck's 1908 ascent of Huascaran in Bolivia, and John Baptiste Noel's filming of the 1924 British attempt on Mt. Everest in the larger historical context of American and British foreign policy and neo-imperialism. Reuben Ellis shows that mountain exploration reached far beyond the motivations of adrenaline-driven adventurers to an aggressive ideology of power and expansion that fed the "New Imperialism"--the end of the era of European empire-building and the beginnings of American dominance in world affairs. With so many mountains at the margins of European and American territorial and economic domains, mountaineering often overlapped with the motivations of empire; the earth's mountains came to be regarded as frontiers open to the full range of political, economic, and personal concerns that drove geographical exploration.
