Description
In the last half of the 19th century, “Arctic fever” gripped the American public. This book tells the story of the expedition led by George Washington De Long aboard the USS Jeannette. They left San Francisco in the summer of 1879. In mid-September, the ship became locked in ice and drifted for almost two years. Eventually, the ship was crushed by ice and sank. The men escaped the ship, heading for civilization in extreme conditions. This is a riveting, true-life adventure! 191 pages; paperback; Penguin.
