Stokes o4.n Everyday Guide to the Rj>ockjr and Selkirk Mountains gf Canada TORONTO THE MUSSON BOOK COMPANY LIMITED Copyright, Canada, 1923 THE MUSSON BOOK COMPANY LTD. PUBLISHERS TORONTO PBINTBD IN CANADA FOREWORD It is difficult to mix so-called inspirational writing with everyday information, and in this little book scarcely any attempt has been made to do it. Guide-books are somewhat like fire: they are good servants but bad masters—at least, to those who write them; and the writer's aim, even despite the distractions of so magnificent a theme, has been to provide one that is a guide-book only. The more exhaustive publications of many distinguished authors, scientists and climbers have been freely quoted—often verbatim. For this, grateful acknowledgments are hereby tendered. In particular, the present writer thanks Mrs. Fred Brewster, Messrs. J. B. Harkin, James White, L. S. Crosby, Basil Gardom, C. Price-Green, A. H. Devenish, and Lt.-Col. P. A. Moore for their co-operation in the cause of accuracy.
