Wilcox (1869-1949) was an original member of the American Alpine Club who explored the Canadian Rockies in the 1890's from north of the Kicking Horse Pass south to Mt. Assiniboine. The publisher or author must have forgotten to include the map in the first edition or the maps was just not ready at the time. The book was reprinted or had the title page canceled in 1897 and the detailed map of Lake Louise was added at the time. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 144663
