Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "The Ascent of Denali (1914)" by Hudson Stuck is presented. It explores the impact of the closing of the frontier and the industrial modernization of the U.S. wherein frontier mythology became important to the well-being of the males of the progressive era. It notes that Stuck has undermined and destabilizes frontier ideologies by sympathizing with the Natives of Alaska.
