Edward Feuz Jr. : a story of enchantment

Publisher: Victoria, British Columbia : Rocky Mountain Books

Physical Description: 318 pages

Medium: Library - Book (including soft-cover and pamphlets)

Subjects: Feuz, Edward; Mountaineering; Mountaineers, Swiss; Guide; Swiss Guides Village, Edelweiss, B.C.; Tourism; History-Canada; Rocky Mountains

Abstract: As a young Swiss boy, Edward Feuz Jr. (1884–1981) developed an insatiable passion for climbing. In time, he traded his Lausbub reputation for that of a responsible Swiss guide and was eventually drawn to Canada in the footsteps of his father, Edward Feuz Sr. (1859–1944), who was one of the first Swiss guides hired by the Canadian Pacific Railway in 1898 to develop the alpinism in western Canada. Handsome and charismatic, Edward (while still in training for his trade) was instantly smitten with the Canadian landscape — and so were his guests. They raved about the young man who showed such exceptional skills. He guided them all — professors, women of independent means, students, newspaper people, a Hindu holy man, and even “Sherlock Holmes” — through untrailed forests, across roaring streams, up icy glaciers, and to the tops of rocky summits. Young and old, they were all enchanted, and so they returned time and again — to the mountains and to their friend Edward. -- From back cover
