Belmore Brown was a member of Cook's 1906 expedition to Mt. McKinley and returned again in 1910 and 1912 when he nearly reached the summit. This is a wonderful tribute to Browne. This special, signed, limited edition was created for the National Sporting Fraternity Limited. It has a different blue binding and slipcase from the regular edition and contains an additional signature page with the limitation number and signatures of both Bates and Rikhoff, president of the NSFL.
