Book Description
'When an accident occurs, something may emerge of lasting value, for the human spirit may rise to its greatest heights. This happened on Haramosh.' The Last Blue Mountain is the heart-rending true story of the 1957 expedition to Mount Haramosh in the Karakoram range in Pakistan. With the summit beyond reach, four young climbers are about to return to camp. Their brief pause to enjoy the view and take photographs is interrupted by an avalanche which sweeps Bernard Jillott and John Emery hundreds of feet down the mountain into a snow basin. Miraculously, they both survive the fall. Rae Culbert and Tony Streather risk their own lives to rescue their friends, only to become stranded alongside them. The group's efforts to return to safety are increasingly desperate, hampered by injury, exhaustion and the loss of vital climbing gear. Against the odds, Jillott and Emery manage to climb out of the snow basin and head for camp, hoping to reach food, water and assistance in time to save themselves and their companions from an icy grave. But another cruel twist of fate awaits them. An acclaimed mountaineering classic in the same genre as Joe Simpson's Touching the Void , Ralph Barker's The Last Blue Mountain is an epic tale of friendship and fortitude in the face of tragedy.

Book Description
Walter Arnold (1894-1980) was one of the last in a long line of independent fur trappers from the mountain man era. Living most of his life in the woods of Maine, Arnold spent his early decades guiding sportsmen in the summer and trapping furbearers in winter, on foot out of remote cabins deep in the Maine woods.Arnold built a reputation in the trapping industry through the dozens of articles he wrote in national outdoor magazines, particularly his writings in Fur-Fish-Game magazine from the 1930's to the 1950's. He also manufactured trapping lures and sold scents and ingredients to trappers throughout North America. In his later years, Walter Arnold sold his business and most of his possessions, and retreated to a full time life in the Maine woods, in a trapping cabin only accessible by airplane. It was these years that Arnold gained nationwide popularity as the last woods hermit from a bygone era. In this book, I revisit many of the stories Walter Arnold published in the old days and provide a modern perspective for those of us still fascinated by a traditional lifestyle that's all but gone today.

Book Description
The Last Mountain is a fascinating biography of the famous British American artist, Robert Wood (1889-1979). A landscape artist of relevant stature, Robert Wood has painted in the best traditions of John Constable and George Inness and many others as famous. Sumptuous in color, correct in drawing, his landscapes are unique. His passion for storms, his reflections on the brilliantly colored pastoral scenes, his awe for the majestic mountains and valleys of the American West with its shorelines and vistas that run into the Pacific are all included in his works. Mrs. Flume was a close friend and admirer of Robert Wood. In this book, she describes the artist's ninety year span of life, from his early years in England to his years in Texas and California. She also brings together an array of personal photos on the artist's life as well as many of his color canvasses. Of special interest to artists and amateurs are the sections on How Robert Wood Painted and His Palette and Painting Notes. These tell how he painted the sky in connection with sunny days, mountains, shorelines, snow, etc. He gives the colors for the trees together with their trunks, limbs, and foliage, as well of grass, snow, water and flowers. In all of this, Violet has succeeded in giving the reader and the lover of art a real insight into the spiritual and physical world of one of today's most revered American artists.
