Back in print – the three Washburn Boys’ Books by Boys! ‘Among the Alps with Bradford’ (1927) in which Brad describes exploring the peaks about Chamonix, making the Charmoz-Grépon traverse, and his attempt on Mont Blanc. ‘Bradford on Mount Washington’ (1928) describes a winter ascent of New England's harshest mountain. ‘Bradford on Mount Fairweather’ (1930) in which Brad, and five others, made the second attempt on Mt. Fairweather (15,300'). These are all great reads and quite hard to find in their original editions.
