Ghosts of Cape Sabine: The Harrowing True Story of the Greely Expedition Hardcover - 2000

by Leonard F. Guttridge


From the publisher

In Icebound, acclaimed historian Leonard F. Guttridge told a "truly exciting" (Atlantic Monthly) and "gripping tale" (Washington Post) of exploration that was "well worth reading". (New York Times) Now, he uncovers a notorious true story of man against nature -- and the nature of man -- that will chill the soul of anyone who read Alive or thrilled to the legend of the Shackleton voyage.

In July 1881, twenty-five men set sail to establish a scientific base in the Arctic region of Lady Franklin Bay. Three years later only six returned. Through private letters and diaries of the doomed men, Guttridge -- an author who has the power to tell "a gripping story of suspense and adventure"

First line

ON 10 JULY, 1881, overloaded with a detachment of seasick American soldiers and a cargo ranging from 200 scientific instruments to 2,000 pounds of canned potatoes, the Proteus, which had left St. John's harbor only forty-eight hours before, was suddenly battered by heavy seas.
