About this book
Creators: Charles Howard-Bury (1881-1963), George Mallory (1886-1924), and A. F. R. Wollaston (1875-1930) "Mount Everest, the Reconnaissance, 1921" by Howard-Bury, Mallory, and Wollaston is an expedition account published in 1921. The book chronicles the first British attempt to find a route up Mount Everest, the world's highest peak. Led by Charles Howard-Bury, the team—including the soon-to-be-legendary George Mallory—trekked 300 miles through Tibet to reach the mountain. They faced harsh conditions, personal tensions, and geographical puzzles while mapping potential paths to the summit. Their discoveries would pave the way for future attempts on Everest's unconquered heights. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading Level: Reading ease score: 63.7 (8th & 9th grade).
