Fifty years after America’s first ascent of Mt. Everest, you can hear the remarkable story of men and mountain tonight (Tuesday) at the White Mountain Library. New York Times Bestselling author Broughton Coburn will present the illustrated program, “The Vast Unknown,” about his latest book that is based on the first American expedition to Mount Everest in the spring of 1963. According to Brittany Wells, “The Vast Unknown” is a harrowing, character-driven account of this momentous climb and its legendary team of inspiring and troubled climbers who suffered injuries, a near mutiny, and a death on the mountain.
