Combining painstaking historical research with his own intimate knowledge of New Hampshire's White Mountains, Nicholas Howe recounts the struggles, deaths, and near escapes of hikers on Mount Washington. Howe gives us more than just facts of each accident, but he goes deeper, placing the accidents in the historical context of the times, including the period's clothing and equipment, and providing a more complete understanding of the background and personalities of the people involved., Nick Howe has combined extensive research with his rich personal knowledge to weave an articulate tale of adventure, challenge, and tragedy. Today's mountain travelers can ignore these historic lessons only at their own peril. (Praise for the First Edition of Not Without Peril)
