A collection of stories about Frenchmans Cap — the distinctive quartzite peak in Tasmania's Franklin-Gordon Wild Rivers National Park, one of the most recognisable mountains on the island and one of the more demanding day walks in the southwest.
Written by Simon Kleinig and published in 2012, the book covers the mountain from its geological origins through the colonial period and the early history of climbing and walking the Cap, up to the modern era.
At 290 pages with black and white illustrations and a full index, it draws together a range of accounts and perspectives on the mountain's history and its place in Tasmanian wilderness culture.
Out of print since publication and not easy to find. This copy is signed by the author Simon Kleinig. There is a gift inscription written in the front — the book was clearly valued by someone who passed it on.
