My Life of High Adventure, first published in 1962, is the autobiography of Grant Pearson, park ranger and later superintendent of Mount McKinley National Park (now Denali National Park and Preserve). He began work at the Park in February 1926 and retired as superintendent in November 1956, and also was an elected Alaska state representative. My Life of High Adventure describes the early days of the Park, his ascent of Denali in 1932, sled-dog teams and Park patrols, recovery of climbers who perished in their ascent attempts, and accounts of its diverse wildlife. An Appendix describes climbs (and attempted climbs) of the peak from 1909 to 1961. Includes 16 pages of b/w photos and two maps.
