"Every summer there is a demand for illustrated literature describing the mountains variously called "Rainier" or "Tacoma." Hitherto we have had only small collections of pictures without text and confined to the familiar south and southwest sides. This little book .aims to show the grandest and most accessible of our extinct volcanoes from all points of view. Like the glacial rivers its text will be found a narrow stream flowing swiftly amidst great mountain scenery. Its abundant illustrations cover not only the giant's fairyland south of the peak but also the equally stupendous scenes that await the adventurer who penetrates the harder trails and climbs the greater glaciers of the north and east slopes The book is sent out in the hope of promoting a wider knowledge of our country's noblest landmark. May it lead many of its readers to delightful days of recreation and adventure." ; B&W Photographs; 10.5" x 7"; 142 pp . G. P. Putnam's Sons hardcover books
