- History / Biographical
- Howard Palmer, 1883-1944, was a lawyer, businessman and mountaineer at Massachusetts, USA. Palmer was a prominent climber and explorer in the Rocky and Selkirk Mountains of western Canada between 1908 and 1927, completing about fifty first ascents. In the period before WWI, Palmer travelled extensively in the Selkirk Mountains with a group of mountaineering enthusiasts headed by E. W. D. Holway. Palmer published "Mountaineering and Exploration in the Selkirks" in 1914, was an active photographer, and worked on numerous topographical maps and expedition plans, including that of the 1925 Mount Logan expedition. In 1923, Palmer and Allen Carpe travelled, climbed and mapped in the Maligne Lake area. Howard Palmer was active in the American Alpine Club.
