“A Sunday Morning Crowd”‘The members of the club are coming home.You mountaineers, who have been serving on land or sea, or in the air; you, who have been serving anywhere in this great world crisis; you have taken to your grim task the strength of mountains, the healing of rivers, the cleanliness of snow… We have followed you with prayers and hope. We now prepare to welcome you home that you may again become our comrades in the hills to enjoy the blessing of the dawn, the glory of the sun, the benediction of the stars.’ At the end of WW1, poetic message from the President of the American Mountain Club “The Mountaineer” to the club members who served during WW1 – The Mountaineer War Number – Photo: June-August 1919, Rainier National Park, women and men Mountaineer Club members, “Sunday morning crowd on Nisqually” – University of Washington Libraries, Special Collections -- source link
