His letters to Amelie Malek--a life-long friend--offer a candid view into the deepest thoughts of the Austrian mountain guide, and are a perfect complement to his autobiography, Where the Clouds Can Go. The 144 letters provide a unique and personal view of what it meant to immigrate to Canada in the early part of the twentieth century. Kain's letters are ordered chronologically with annotations, keeping the sections in English untouched, while those in German have been carefully translated. Historians and mountain culture enthusiasts worldwide will appreciate Kain's genius for description, his passion for nature, his opinions, and his musings about his life."--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aMountain cairns. 606 $aMountaineering$zCanadian Rockies (B.C. and Alta.) 610 $aCanadian Rockies. 610 $aLetters. 610 $aMountaineering. 615 0$aMountaineering 676 $a796.522092 700 $aKain$b Conrad$f1883-1934.$01687720 702 $aKain$b Conrad$f1883-1934, 702 $aRobinson$b Zac$f1975- 702 $aKoch$b Maria 702 $aKoch$b W.
