Alpina America - 1911
The Canadian Rocky Mountains7/9/24 (updated 11/25/25)The Alpina Americana series is a set of illustrated monographs published by the American Alpine Club beginning in 1907. Only three issues were ever produced:No. 1: The High Sierra of California by Joseph N. LeConte (1907)No. 2: The Canadian Rocky Mountains by Charles E. Fay (1911)No. 3: Mountain Exploration in Alaska by Alfred H. Brooks (1914)These quarto-sized monographs were intended to be an ongoing series but were limited to these three issues. They were highly valued by early members of the American Alpine Club and cover significant North American mountain ranges in depth.The series reflects the early 20th-century mountaineering exploration and documentation in North America, with a focus on detailed observations and climbing narratives in these key mountainous regions.Source: Perplexity.aiCurated by Gabrielle Ly
