“A breezy, readable volume that is one part adventure story, one part biography. . . . Tales, stunning and stirring, of mountaineering.” —Boston Globe
In The Last of His Kind, renowned adventure writer David Roberts gives readers a spellbinding history of mountain climbing in the twentieth century as told through the biography of Brad Washburn, legendary mountaineering pioneer and photographer. Jon Krakauer, author of Into Thin Air, has praised David Roberts, saying, “Nobody alive writes better about mountaineering”—and nowhere is that truth more evident than in this breathtaking account of the life and exploits of America’s greatest mountain climber.
“A longtime friend of Washburn and a former mountaineer, Roberts is an ideal candidate for writing Washburn's biography.” —Publishers Weekly
“Part of the reason that David Roberts's biography of mountain climber Bradford Washburn is titled “The Last of His Kind” is that so often Washburn was the first of his kind: He achieved nine first ascents of peaks in North America alone, taking striking photographs along the way.” —Washington Post
“Excellent.” —Booklist
“A well-crafted biography. . . . Roberts’s style effectively captures the suspense and danger of Washburn’s adventures. A thorough and admiring portrait.” —Kirkus Reviews
