Men of Grit and Manly Vim,

This review is from: Across the Olympic Mountains: The Press Expedition, 1889-90 (Paperback)
A great tale about some truly remarkable people, especially when read in light of our soft and pampered current society. I have been involved in Boy Scouts for more than 20 years and have hiked (more or less) the route of the Press Expedition on two separate 50 mile hikes. It was a life changing experience for the 24 young men and adults who experienced it. A large part of the experience was sharing exerpts from a borrowed copy of this book with the group. Some of the experiences from the book are truly remarkable. Those hikes have been more than a decade ago now. I'm going on a 50 mile hike in the southern Sierra Nevadas this summer with a group of 18 and am buying my own copy of the book to share the experiences with a new generation.
