James ramsey ullman biography of michael jordan

American novelist (1907–1971)

James Ramsey Ullman (August 21, 1907 – June 20, 1971) was an American writer and mountaineer.^[1] He was born in New York City.

He was not a "high end" climber, but his writing made him an honorary member of that circle. Most of his books were about mountaineering and geography.

His works include Banner in the Sky, which was a book based on the true story of the first climbing of the Matterhorn (it was filmed in Switzerland as Third Man on the Mountain), and The White Tower (which would star Glenn Ford and Lloyd Bridges).

In his late 20's, after a discouraging lack of success as a theatrical producer, in New York, he undertook a journey from Lima to the Atlantic. He wrote about that journey in his book The Other Side of the Mountain: An Escape to the Amazon, which is entertaining and informative on several levels.^[2]

High Conquest was the first of nine books for the J.B.
