Mount Everest: The Reconnaissance, 1921 is a book written by Charles K. Howard-Bury, detailing the first reconnaissance expedition to Mount Everest in 1921. The book was first published in 1922 and is considered a classic in mountaineering literature. The book describes the journey of a British expedition team led by Howard-Bury, who set out to explore the then-unknown terrain of Mount Everest. The team consisted of experienced mountaineers, surveyors, and photographers, who were tasked with mapping the region and identifying the best possible route to the summit of the mountain. The book provides a detailed account of the team's journey, including their encounters with the local Sherpa people, their struggles with harsh weather conditions, and their attempts to navigate through treacherous terrain. The book also features stunning photographs of the mountain and its surrounding landscape, as well as detailed maps and diagrams of the routes taken by the team. Mount Everest: The Reconnaissance, 1921 is an important historical document, as it provides a firsthand account of the earliest attempts to conquer one of the world's most challenging peaks. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in mountaineering, exploration, or the history of Everest expeditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
