Description
"Excerpt from The Mountain That Was “God”: Being a Little Book About the Great Peak Which the Indians Named "Tacoma" But Which Is Officially Called "Rainier"
Every summer there is demand for illustrated literature describing the mountain variously called Rainier or Tacoma. Hitherto, we have had only small collections of pictures, without text, and confined to the familiar south and southwest sides.
The little book which I now offer aims to show the grandest and most accessible of our ex tinct volcanoes from all points of View. Like the glacial rivers, its text will be found a narrow stream ?owing swiftly amidst great mountain scenery. Its abundant illustrations cover not only the giants'' fairyland south of the peak, but also the equally stupendous scenes that await the adventurer who penetrates the harder trails and climbs the greater glaciers of the north and cast slopes.
