II, no. 1 (Year of 1922?published annually). Two octavo volumes. 79, [2], [22, ads]; 93, [31, ads[ pp. Each issue liberally illustrated from photographs. Original printed wrappers. Some light edgewear as the text block is not flush with the wrappers but a very good and clean set.The California Alpine Club was formed in 1914 with "The object of the club: "To make excursions into trailed and un-trailed portions of California for the purpose of bringing the people of the cities out in the open, and the full enjoyment of the natural wonders of the State; to aid in every way possible, the preservation of woods, streams, game and natural features of the country". In the early years, the members were largely devoted to local hikes to Mt. Tamalpais and such, they soon branched out to incorporate the Sierra Nevada mountains. The first "High Trip? was to climb Mount Whitney in 1916 and the group placed the hiker?s register on top. At least 18 more peaks had been climbed and registers placed by CAC members by 1923. Bill Halliday organized many of the trips to the Sierra Nevada mountains. Each of the issues here offered includes a detailed article on the 'Sierra Outing' of that year and is illustrated with numerous photographs. By the 1920s their membership was about 300 (thus making this a very impressive journal). Each issue contains numerous articles of interest concerning the mountains of California: e.g. The San Benito Pinnacles by Nanna C. Lininger (1920); California as a Field for the Mountaineer by M. F. Murphy (1920); The Ascent of Kettle Dome by Herman Ulrich (1921); Trouting in the Sierra by M. F. Murphy (1921); Save the Redwoods Movement in California by J. D. Grant (1922); The Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges in Southern California by Chester Versteeg (1922); Some Battles of the Sierra by Francis P. Farquahar (1923); A Three-Day Outing to Mount Shasta by James Wright (1923). The Club is till active today and maintains lodges at Lake Tahoe and Mt. Tamalpais.
