Testimonials
“I recently had the privilege to attend Christian Beckwith’s presentation on the 10th Mountain Division. Christian’s compelling storytelling brings the legacy of the 10th magically to life, and the integrity of his research adds fascinating new discoveries to the standard history. Over the past 80 years, numerous individuals and organizations have attempted to capture the full scope of the legendary division and its post-war contributions to American society. Christian accomplishes this with exquisite narrative talent.”
—Nancy B Kramer, Chairman, 10th Mountain Division Foundation
“I’ve been fortunate to attend both of Christian’s New York presentations. His diligent research and ability to link military and mountaineering legacies expertly captures the impact that the 10th Mountain Division had on our nation. By connecting the many personalities of the World War II Division with untold aspects of its history, he reinvigorates its legend with a relevancy that honors its past while inspiring the next generation.”
—Daniel Fields, Founder, 10th Mountain Alpine Club
