American Brad Washburn's impact on his proteges and imitators
was as profound as that of any other adventurer in the twentieth
century. Unquestionably regarded as the greatest mountaineer in
Alaskan history and as one of the finest mountain photographers of
all time, Washburn transformed American attitudes toward wilderness
and revolutionized the art of mountaineering and exploration in the
great ranges. In The Last of His Kind, National Geographic
Adventure contributing editor David Roberts goes beyond
conventional biography to reveal the essence of this man through
the prism of his extraordinary exploits from New England to
Chamonix, and from the Himalayas to the Yukon. An exciting
narrative of mountain climbing in the twentieth century, The Last
of His Kind brings into focus Washburn's deeds in the context of
the history of mountaineering, and provides a fascinating look at
an amazing culture and the influential icon who shaped it.
