The author prints side by side quotations from the accounts of ascents by Cook, Lloyd, Browne, and Stuck. He argues from their critical comparison that 'the final verdict will surely be that Cook made the first ascent of Mount McKinley; Lloyd the second ascent of the South Peak and the first ascent of the North Peak; Browne an almost complete ascent of the highest summit; and Stuck the third ascent of the S. Peak. -- The Alpine Journal , Volume 29
