This is a transcript of the personal climbing journal of Dr. James Wynn of Indianapolis, Indiana. It documents numerous mountain climbing adventures with his father, Dr. Frank B Wynn. Frank was also a medical doctor and professor of medicine in the Medical Colleges of Indianapolis at the turn of the Twentieth Century. Frank spent his summers climbing mountains and was one of the first to ascend many of the peeks in Glacier and Waterton National Parks. James Wynn was his only child and these stories reveal the father and son bond shared by these two medical professionals on their summer holidays together. Frank Wynn died while climbing Mount Siyeh in Glacier National Park in 1922. James Wynn contracted tuberculosis and died in 1932, leaving his wife and only daughter, Barbara Wynn. David Clyde Walters met Barbara Wynn in Monterey, California in 2007 while doing doctoral research on a biography of Dr Frank B Wynn. This mountain climbing journal was found among Barbara's records and papers.
