Wamsley's diligence in research, already evident in his previous book, Polar Hayes, illuminates and clarifies many poorly understood chapters of Schwatka's career, and vividly brings to life this courageous yet complicated man. Today, with both of Franklin's ships now found, and the work of archaeologists now corroborating and extending many of Schwatka's discoveries, there could hardly be imagined a better time for his return to the Arctic stage. - from the Foreword by Russell A. Potter.
