Accidental Adventurer Memoirs of the First Woman to Climb Mt McKinley

Barbara Washburn never set out to become a mountaineering pioneer, but she wasn't content to be a stay-at-home wife, either. In 1947, defying social convention, Washburn became the first woman to climb Alaska's Mt. McKinley. She accompanied her husband--famed explorer, mountaineer, and photographer Bradford Washburn--on other expeditions to Alaska, the Grand Canyon, and Mt. Everest, while raising three children at their home near Boston.Washburn, Barbara is the author of 'Accidental Adventurer Memoirs of the First Woman to Climb Mt McKinley' with ISBN 9780945397977 and ISBN 0945397976.
