Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Call of the Mountains: Rambles Among the Mountains and Canyons of the United States and Canada For many summers I have roamed among our finest mountain and canyon scenery, viewing it as a mountaineer and explorer. Many of these regions have now become National Parks, while others still await this protection if their natural beauties are to be preserved from commercial ruination. In 1915 I suggested that our leading mountaineering clubs unite in a bureau with headquarters in New York. Early in 1916, nine clubs and societies joined in this manner under the title of the Associated Mountaineering Clubs of North America, of which I became Secretary. It now comprises fifty organizations as follows: American Alpine Club, Philadelphia and New York. American Civic Association, Washington. American Forestry Association, Washington. American Game Protective and Propagation Association, New York. American Museum of Natural History, New York. American Scenic and Historic Preservation Society, New York.
