Mount McKinley: The Pioneer Climbs

From the first sightings by Russian and British explorers from Cook Inlet, through the first attempts, and finally, success, Dr. Moore, past president of the University of Alaska detailed the history of discovering and climbing America's highest mountain. I simply couldn't put it down. You won't believe the interview with Billy Taylor, one of the sourdoughs who mushed from Fairbanks in 1910 and climbed to the top with a thermos of coffee and a sack of donuts, and erected a 14' spruce pole on the north peak. Then they simply hung out for the summer and mined for gold near the base. True or false? You'll have to find out for yourself.
