[*] Outram, James. In the heart of the Canadian Rockies. [**]$3. Macmillan.
“Mr. Outram has the remarkable record of nineteen ‘first ascents’ of peaks among the Canadian Rockies, including the highest mountain in Canada yet conquered by the mountaineer. He describes his experiences among these majestic peaks with the enthusiasm that might be expected of so experienced a mountain-climber.”—Outlook.
