Somebody always has to be the first to fall. Timbs gathered the great mountain stories of the age for readers who would never leave their armchairs: the Alps and the first ascents, the Andes, the volcanoes, the avalanches, the guides, the ropes that failed. Victorian compilation at its most readable, assembled by a man who made a career out of knowing everything.
