Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Glacier Country My Years at Franz Joseph By Ralph Warburton. Published by Longacre Press, 2004, first edition. Excellent near new hardback with jacket, no inscriptions. Dust jacket has shelf/edge wear and a little fading. 196 pages, colour & b & w photos. In the 1940's, and while in his 30's, Ralph Warburton fell in love with the mountains. He gave up his job of watchmaker and trained as a glacier guide, later becoming official photographer for glacier parties at Franz Josef. His family formed and grew up in the tiny South Westland village, a remote spot before the Haast highway was put through years later. In lucid, laconic prose, Ralph tells of adventurous crossings of the Main Divide, of mountain ascents, tragedies, miraculous rescues. He offers vignettes of village and family life, stories of the big weather affecting their lives and livelihoods and of colourful local personalities. It is also a story of love, between a man and his dog. Scott, the four-footed mountaineer learned to climb so he need never be parted from his master. He crossed mountain passes and weathered accidents that would have killed a lesser dog. Scott won the hearts of visitors to the glacier with his skills and his determination to be in party photos, always in one position: centre front. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.
