The summer of 2013 marks the 100th anniversary of Mount McKinley's first ascent and this is a true and complete account of the first successful ascent of North America's highest summit - setting the record straight. The book features archival photographs, including rare and never-before-published images.

The Seventymile Kid tells the remarkable account of Harry Karstens, who was the actual - if unheralded - leader of the Hudson Stuck Expedition that was the first to summit Mount McKinley in Alaska.
