Adventurers Club Mountain Drum Tale of Sam Johnson
Brooklyn resident Samuel Johnson's mountain trek in the Italian Alps recalls a perilous July 1931 ascent on Doufoure Peak. Without guides, the group faced avalanches and cold, drifting into a cave at twelve thousand feet before five professional guides arrived to haul them to safety and a hospital. The account also notes local opposition to photography in Stophorst and a miscellany of natural history items.
