James L. Ferguson Professor of History Maurice Isserman contributed a feature article about climbing the Himalayan Mountains to the Christian Science Monitor (July 3, 2007). In "Himalayan summitry: A lesser peak, not a lesser lesson," Isserman recounts his climb to the top of Kala Patar in Nepal in June. Isserman is writing a book on the history of Himalayan mountaineering with Stewart Weaver of the University of Rochester.
