Beschreibung
Government Printing Bureau, Ottawa, Canada, 1905. Two volumes, bound in brown cloth with gold lettering and crest, Volume 1 - 459 pages with many photographs, measuring 234mm X 158mm on heavy stock paper. Volume 2 consists of 14 folding maps and sketches, collated complete. Arthur Oliver Wheeler was born in Ireland in 1860 and he emigrated to Canada when he was 16. He became a land surveyor and he surveyed large areas of Western Canada. In 1906, he and journalist Elizabeth Parker were the principal founders of the Alpine Club of Canada (ACC). He was its first president, 1906 1910, and editor of the Canadian Alpine Journal from 1907 to 1930. Mount Wheeler is named after him and Mount Oliver is named after his son. This set of books, The Selkirk Range, was the first book written by a Canadian to celebrate a mountain range. The two volumes are in near fine condition. Volume one has a small wrinkle near the top of the spine and Volume two is very lightly worn at the bottom of the spine. Those are the only imperfections on a beautiful, important set of Canadian geographical surveys. This is a very heavy set of books and additional postage will be required.
