Description

Early Edition, Illustrated

A second impression of the second edition of this work, with a special account of the 1936 expedition, in the publisher's original cloth binding. Illustrated with sixteen black and white plates and four sketch maps. Collated, complete. Lieutenant Colonel Sir Francis Edward Younghusband (1863-1942) was a British Army officer and explorer. He is remembered for his travels in the Far East and Central Asia; especially the 1904 British expedition to Tibet, led by himself. This is the second edition of his account of his expedition to Mount Everest, an entirely new account with detailed discussion of the problems faced, written after the expedition.
