Description

Publisher description: Rising above the northern part of the Cascades is the magnificent bulk of Mt. Baker - "Koma Kulshan" (the steep white mountain) to the early Nooksack Indians. Long a focal point of human interest, this slumbering volcano has been seen in many different lights - as a sacred object (Indians), a great challenge (mountaineers, explorers), a stimulus for creativity (poets, painters, photographers), a playground (marathon runners, skiers), and as a resource (entrepreneurs, loggers, miners, developers, park administrators). Yet, despite all human actions and aspirations over the years, the mountain retains its majesty, power and mystery. This is the story of man and Mt. Baker, complete with engaging first-hand tales and a wealth of rare historic photos.
