Amazing. Reading Clarence King's account of his expeditions were like being there with him on the highest peaks, in the most precarious positions. An experience this life will not afford me in reality, this book transported me to a time and place I can only dream of. Loved it! Little bits of comic relief in his side notes made it fun as well if you have a certain sort of sense of humor.
