Pressestimmen
"... A must have book for those interested in Conrad Kain, 1st generation Canadian mountaineering and Canadian mountain culture. Conrad Kain: Letters from a Wandering Mountain Guide, 1906-1933 has a splendid assortment of maps and photographs, but the prize jewel of the book are the many letters (142) written by Conrad Kain... The letters to Amelie are touching and tender, informative and insightful, historic and charming. .. [T]he Robinson and Bourdon contributions are like exquisite book ends within which the evocative letters make for the literary centrepiece." [Full review at: http://www.conradkain.com/news/book-review-ron-dart] -- Ron Dart "Conrad Kain is a compelling title from University of Alberta Press. Kain is renowned among Canadian mountaineers as a pioneering guide so accomplished they named a British Columbia peak for him, Mount Conrad. He escaped grinding poverty as a miner's son in rural Austria and travelled the world from Honolulu to Ulaanbaatar... Conrad Kain: Letters From A Wandering Mountain Guide takes readers page by page through a man's life and thoughts. It is a dark and absorbing narrative." [Full review at http://www.blacklocks.ca/book-review-the-unhappy-traveler] -- Holly Doan Blacklock's Reporter "In a culture that enjoys as many romantic figures as there are mountain peaks on the horizon as viewed from a lofty summit, Conrad Kain holds a special place in the historical landscape of western Canada's mountains. Robinson...makes no secret of his affection for Kain, and that's a good thing, because he handles the letters Kain wrote throughout his adult life while guiding in Canada and New Zealand to his dear friend in Austria, Amelie Malek, with the care and reverence they so richly deserve." -- Lynn Martel Alpine Club of Canada Gazette "Conrad Kain was arguably the pre-eminent mountain guide in Canada in the early years of the 20th century and left a legacy of first ascents and epic climbs in his native Austria, in his adopted home in North America (e.g., Mount Robson), and in New Zealand's Southern Alps... Robinson has ordered the letters chronologically and throughout the book has skillfully annotated them to fill in gaps or provide context... From his letters, it's obvious that Kain loved climbing mountains for the physical challenge, to meet interesting people, to make a living, and for opportunities to travel around the world, but most especially because of his all-consuming love of the natural world." Vol. 129, No. 1 (2015) [Full review at http://canadianfieldnaturalist.ca/index.php/cfn] -- Cyndi M. Smith The Canadian Field-Naturalist "... in the letters we find a Kain who is disarmingly open and honest about his life, his successes and his failures and this unscripted or unedited look into the life of a remarkable man continues throughout the book. As editor, Robinson [includes]... extensive and informative footnotes that provide context and create a broader historical story that fits Kain's life into the events that occur around him while filling in any gaps in the narrative...Kain is one of those rare gems whose personality and reputation match. He is a great climber and a great person." [Full article at http://ow.ly/SlZcF] -- Rob Alexander Rocky Mountain Outlook "[Kain's letters] are rich in detail not only about his travels and climbs in the European, Siberian, Canadian, and New Zealand mountain ranges that involved staggering heights, immense walls of rock, steep glacier fields, icy crests, as well as sudden storms, rockslides, and avalanches. The letters also reflect the inner experience and yearnings of this mountain guide... The book is enriched by fifty archival photographs mainly of mountains and people as well as by three helpful maps (xvi-xix). The 143 letters are amply annotated... Reading these letters puts a wonderfully human face on an Austrian mountain guide's achievements and reveals as well his craft's challenges, defeats, and glories." -- Leo Schelbert Yearbook of German American Studies "Conrad Kain (1883-1934) was an acclaimed climber of his day. Born in Austria, he immigrated to Canada in 1909 and became known for his pioneering climbs in British Columbia. In 1906, Kain wrote a letter to Amelia Malek (1871-1941), an early student whom he had instructed in the ways of climbing in the Alps. For the rest of his life, Kain wrote to her, first from Austria and then from Canada. The present volume presents all 144 of Kain's letters to Malek. It is a one-sided correspondence marked by class differences-he was a guide, she an affluent tourist-and deep affection. The letters cover a wide range of topics, from the immigrant experience in Canada to his life in the far north to the joy he discovered in the Canadian Rockies. If the writing is rough, the descriptions of the mountains and nature are glorious." -- R. W. Roberts Choice Magazine "Austrian Conrad Kain...became a celebrated guide and mountaineer, claiming sixty-one ascents in the Rockies. Kain was what we have come to call an economic migrant, a poor man looking for better wages and a modicum of financial security... Throughout Kain's life abroad, the written word was as important as wages to his sustenance... Spanning the time from just before he set off for Canada until just before his death, these letters reveal something of the immigrant experience, of the loneliness single men like Kain felt, the solace and sadness that news from home brought, and the desire to return, if only for a visit."

I brought this book (Kindle edition) along on a trip to the Canadian Rockies. First of all, reading about history from someone who was there first hand writing letters, well, the immediacy of his experience is just right in front of you in the soaring mountains you see. Secondly, when I visited the Whyte museum in Banff, I found a darling children's book on alpine hiking that was Conrad Cain's favorite. Thirdly, I am home now, but I dip into this book when I am on the train for a few minutes, and it brings my trip back to me in a flash.
The most amazing thing about this book is how it reveals the inner mind and soul of a great man, mountain guide, traveler, and adventurer, as well as an important historical figure on opening the Canadian West. I was deeply impressed. Conrad Kain man who must not only have been physically and mentally tough to an extraordinary extent but also an intelligent and philosophical man who thought deeply about nature and the meaning of life, sometimes nearly succumbing to fits of depression and loneliness.His letter to Amelie, a woman he obviously loved, and deeply, were often especially moving, despite the fact we only see his half of the correspondence. Our modern minds often wonder why didn't drop everything to marry him; she apparently loved him too. Then again, they had the continent separating, then World War, then the Great Depression, to say nothing of class differences that perhaps separated them even more.I saw Conrad's larger than life photo in a Bugaboos Hut many years ago, and I wish I had had this book at the time to lend valuable perspective.A great book - a classic that should be read in our schools from now on. Wonderfully annotated by Zac Robinson.
