As Told At the Explorers Club: More Than Fifty Gripping Tales Of Adventure (The Explorers Club Classics, 1)

I didn't buy this book here on Amazon, but I own it. Honestly, these stories and people were just of a time. They're riveting, insightful, humorous, and educational short essays and stories. I could not put it down in the evenings.

This book contains amazing stories from the ends of the earth as told by those that actually participated. These first hand accounts are simply wonderful, giving the reader an eye into the harsh climates of Africa and the Arctic among other places. Luminaries include Mr. Amundson of South Pole fame. This is a well written and well organized book that covers more then 60 years of exploration.
