|  Produktbeschreibung (22460746): Beautiful Niles Canyon in Fremont is a chosen spot. Jose de Jesus Vallejo chose it for the first mill town in Alta California, Joaquin Murieta slept here, and Leland Stanford chose it in 1869 for the last leg of the transcontinental railroad, the true 创last spike创 of the line linking the Atlantic to the Pacific. The home of the largest nursery in the West, Niles could also boast the first gravel mines in California and fine Art Deco tile production. In 1912 world famous Essanay Studios chose the oak-studded hills of Niles Canyon as the location for some of the most famous silent films of all time, including Charlie Chaplin磗 The Tramp, and the first Wild West movie stars strutted the dusty streets of Niles. | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil2) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 15.95 bestellen! |

| Produktbeschreibung (21643488): In 1945, Stanford students Freddy Hubbard and Cynthia Cummings decided to organize an outing group-something that would offer them the same mountaineering experiences they磀 enjoyed at home as members of the Junior Colorado Mountain Club. They were not entirely successful. The club, in Hubbard磗 words, 创degenerated into a hiking club.创 It took three returning World War Two veterans, Al Baxter, Larry Taylor, and Fritz Lippmann, to establish a campus climbing club. This was spring of 1946, and Hubbard and Cummings joined right up, beginning the almost forty-year history of one of America磗 most prominent college mountaineering groups: the Stanford Alpine Club.
The club磗 identity was forged in the crucible of Yosemite Valley磗 steep, smooth granite spires and cliffs. Group members made important contributions to the development of Yosemite rockclimbing technique, and helped carry the lessons learned to the world磗 major ranges, but the club磗 focus was on something more important-the personal, social, and recreational growth of its members. Coeducational membership was a key factor separating the SAC from longer-established and better-known eastern college clubs, and a tradition of 创manless climbing创 began with the group磗 inaugural year. Men and women alike were encouraged to try things that seemed beyond their limits and capabilities, testing both physical and mental strength. And the dangers involved-the club saw its fair share of tragedy, injury, and death-did even more to bring members together and change their lives.
创The Stanford Alpine Club is a large format (9.25 x 12.25 inches) photographic history of the club, following the club through its inception, its first trips toYosemite, its most daring moments in the Himalayas, and its later days of scaling campus buildings; this fascinating volume presents portfolios of photographs by SAC members Tom Frost, Leigh Ortenburger, and Henry Kendall, an insightful text by John Rawlings, reflections a | | >>> Jetzt bei buecher.de - (Teil1) ansehen oder f黵 EUR 44.95 bestellen! |
