My Alpine Jubilee, 1851-1907 is a memoir written by British journalist and author Frederic Harrison. The book chronicles his experiences and adventures in the Alps over a period of 56 years, from 1851 to 1907. Harrison was an avid mountaineer and spent much of his time exploring the peaks and valleys of the Swiss and Italian Alps. In this memoir, he shares his memories of climbing some of the most challenging mountains in the region, including the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. The book is divided into chapters, each of which focuses on a specific period of Harrison’s life or a particular mountain climb. He provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes and scenery he encountered on his journeys, as well as the challenges and dangers he faced. Harrison also reflects on the changes that occurred in the Alps over the course of his lifetime, including the impact of tourism and the development of mountain sports.Overall, My Alpine Jubilee, 1851-1907 is a fascinating account of one man’s love affair with the Alps and his lifelong pursuit of adventure and exploration in this beautiful and rugged region of Europe. It is a must-read for anyone interested in mountaineering, travel writing, or the history of the Alps.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
