History

In 1903, aspiring journalist Robert Dunn joined an expedition attempting the first ascent of Mt. McKinley, the highest mountain in North America. Led by explorer Frederick Cook (who would later win infamy for faking the discovery of the North Pole), the climbers failed to conquer McKinley, but they did circumnavigate the great peak—an accomplishment not repeated until 1978. The trek also spawned a book unique in the literature of exploration: Dunn’s frank, sardonic, no-holds-barred look at day-to-day existence on an Alaskan expedition. Before Dunn, most such accounts were sanitized and expurgated of anything unflattering. Dunn, however, a protégé of the muckraker Lincoln Steffens, endeavored to report what he saw, with panache. And what Dunn reported was a journey rife with conflict, missed opportunity, incompetence, privation, and danger. By showing men reduced to their rawest state, the young journalist produced a compelling, insightful, and oddly amusing book that disturbed and riveted his contemporaries. As Hudson Stuck—the Episcopal archdeacon of the Yukon who completed the first ascent of Mt. McKinley in 1913—observed, “[Dunn’s] book has a curious undeniable power, despite its brutal frankness. . . . One is thankful, however, that it is unique in the literature of travel.”

The Possibility of Weakness of Will

'The book reveals a rare blend of virtues: a mastery of the literature, a lucidity of mind, a rigor of argument, and a robust sense of psychological realism. It soars yet rarely loses sight of the terrain' - Bela Szabados, "Canadian Philosophical Review."

Hackett Pub Co Inc

Combining ethical, semantic, and literary insights, this title presents a study of weakness of will.

Both a love story and a mystery, this book features a runaway girl, a down-at-its-heels roadhouse, a hot-headed sax player, a tormented recordman, a drop-in from Elvis Presley, and a magical car. It is tinged with magic and mojo and goes far behind the music to tell one of the great lost stories of rock 'n' roll.
