Excerpt from Mountain Scouting
The object of my book is to investigate that chain of many minor successes, each link of which must be perfect, in order to insure the success of any expedition. A long and dangerous journey, without the loss of property, comfort, health or life, can only be accomplished after having learned how to prepare for all emergencies; how to avoid un necessary hardships; and how to find out the capabilities of the country and of the party.
