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

Front Cover
The Arctic's most notorious expedition . . . a true story of mutiny, madness, suicide, and cannibalism. In July 1881, 25 men set sail to establish a scientific base in the Arctic region. Three years later only six returned. Through private letters and diaries of the doomed men, Guttridge--author of "Icebound"--gives a day-by-day chronicle that is brilliantly told, unbelievable true, and absolutely unforgettable.
