Chamouni and Mont Blanc: A Visit to the Valley and an Ascent of the Mountain in the Autumn of 1855 is a travelogue written by Eustace Anderson and published in 1856. The book is a detailed account of Anderson's journey to Chamouni, a picturesque valley in the French Alps, and his subsequent ascent of Mont Blanc, the highest mountain in Western Europe. The book begins with Anderson's arrival in Chamouni and his descriptions of the valley's natural beauty, including its glaciers, waterfalls, and forests. He also provides historical and cultural background on the region, including its indigenous people and their way of life. The second half of the book is devoted to Anderson's ascent of Mont Blanc, which he undertakes with a guide and a small group of fellow climbers. He describes the challenges of the climb, including the altitude, the weather, and the physical exertion required. He also provides vivid descriptions of the mountain's landscape, including its snowfields, crevasses, and rocky outcroppings. Throughout the book, Anderson's writing is characterized by a sense of wonder and awe at the natural world, as well as a deep appreciation for the skills and knowledge of the local guides who helped him navigate the mountain. Chamouni and Mont Blanc is a classic work of mountaineering literature and a fascinating glimpse into the world of 19th-century travel and exploration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
