Softcover. Condition: As New. At the age of twelve, twin brothers Bob and Ira Spring received free Eastman Kodak Box Brownie cameras as part of a corporate fiftieth anniversary promotion. This happy coincidence was the beginning of two legendary careers. Throughout their lives the Spring brothers nurtured the spark of their creativity and love of the mountains to create indelible images that introduced generations of climbers to the beauty of the Cascade and Olympic Mountains and the Canadian Rockies.While other photographers were recording expeditions to distant destinations, Bob and Ira were pioneers in photographing the remarkable climbers and peaks of the Northwest. Outfitted with goldline rope, leather boots, and cameras that weighed as much as 100 pounds, the brothers documented the development of equipment and technique in both mountaineering and photography, and cultivated friendships with renowned mountaineers such as Fred Beckey, Willi Unsoeld, and Jim and Lou Whittaker. The Springs' photographs captured the timeless beauty of the mountains of the Northwest in stunning black-and-white and were published in National Geographic, The Saturday Evening Post, Esquire, Life, and more than fifty books.High Rocks and Ice presents the brothers' most famous images accompanied by the stories behind the pictures as well as Ira's humorous accounts of his triumphs and mistakes, making this book both a fascinating chronicle of the Springs' work and an informal history of mountaineering during its "classic age" from the late 1930s to the early 1970s.

[WOMEN]. First edition. 8vo. Signed by all three authors on the title page, viii, 182 pp., frontispiece, preface, introduction, illustrated from photographs, maps, acknowledgments, about the authors. The story of a woman who lived her early years in mining camps in Alaska, Colorado, and Arizona. "Twenty-three-year-old Ines, a schoolteacher from Salida, Colo. - just married to miner Jack Fraser - arrived in Tucson by train in August 1904. Ines and Jack were on their way to the Los Alamos gold mine, near Ruby, where they hoped to strike it rich. Jack and Ines struggled to make a living in an unforgiving environment. Between 1911 and 1917, Ines had three children. For each birth, Jack sent her to San Diego or back home to Salida so she could receive better medical care than was available in the rough borderland. During those long separations, Ines and Jack wrote beautiful, loving letters to each other - Ines keeping Jack apprised of her condition and hopes to return soon, and Jack telling Ines of his struggles to make the mine successful. But the mining troubles continued - Jack wanted desperately to find another occupation. And Mexican bandits were raiding across the border with increasing frequency. As Ines left for San Diego in mid-1919 to prepare for the birth of the couple's fourth child, Jack was eagerly negotiating to buy the general store in Ruby. He did buy the store and was happily awaiting Ines' return from San Diego with their new daughter, Constance, when, on Feb. 27, 1920, he was shot and killed by Mexican bandits in his store. Ines settled her husband's affairs, sold the store and returned to San Diego. There she raised her four children alone during the Great Depression." The letters that tell the incredible story, unveiling not only a glimpse into the Gold Fever pioneer life, but also portraying an unforgettable love story. As new, unread copy.
