Greely lost nineteen of his twenty five men, and he knew precisely what he was writing about. This is the Arctic's history by someone who survived the worst of it: the Norse, the searches, Franklin, Kane, Hall, Hayes, and the relief ships that came too late, told by the commander of the expedition that starved at Cape Sabine. Nobody else could have written it with this authority.
