In this magisterial narrative history, award-winning author Maurice Isserman profiles a robust selection of American mountaineers (including John C. Frémont, John Muir, Annie Peck, Bradford Washburn, Charlie Houston, and Bob Bates), and illustrates vividly the importance of mountaineering to the nation's cultural identity. Covering four centuries of daring climbs, Continental Divide tells a vital story of adventure in the high peaks that evokes the enterprising, revolutionary spirit of America itself.
