In time, he traded his \u003ci\u003eLausbub\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHandsome 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eEdward Feuz Jr.: A Story of Enchantment\u003c\/i\u003e transports the modern reader back to a simpler time, when mountaineering in North America was less about pushing personal limits and more about the splendour of grand vistas, wide open spaces, and the opening of the West.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-14992524\"\u003eD.
