Bradford Washburn: An Extraordinary Life: Autobiography of a Mountaineering Icon
by Bradford Washburn

World-class mountaineer, photographer, cartographer, and scholar, Bradford Washburn served as director of the Boston Museum of Science for nearly 40 years. He has produced numerous award-winning maps, including those of Mount Everest, Mount McKinley, the Grand Canyon, and Mount Washington and the rest of New Hampshire's Presidential Range. Washburn pioneered aerial photography, mountain cartography, wireless communications, cold-weather search and rescue, and cold weather survival techniques. He began his climbing career when he was just 11 years old by scaling Mount Washington and went on to climb in the Alps and Alaska, claiming numerous first ascents around the globe. This autobiography also offers rare photographs and little-known anecdotes about Washburn's World War II service, other explorations, and his special partnership with wife Barbara.
