Book Description
Guyon Warren was one of a small group of men who spent 15 consecutive months in the Antarctic in the late 1950s. He helped establish Scott Base, right from the construction of the first hut. However, it is with his explorations out on the ice that he made his greatest contribution. Learning about the experiences he had makes for fascinating reading. Warren has chronicled a unique script. In it he rewards you with insights into the day-to-day conditions experienced by himself and his colleagues in the Antarctic. He is candid, revealing and honest in his thoughts and impressions. In the late 1950s Antarctica was the scene of intense activity. Fuchs planned to lead an expedition to cross the icy continent via the South Pole. He was to be met partway by a support team led by Sir Edmund Hillary. Thus the Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1957-58 was born. The International Geophysical Year coincided with the timing of this trans-polar crossing. As a part of this, New Zealand set about establishing a scientific station in Antarctica. Warren was a member of Sir Edmund Hillary's Ross Sea Party and a geologist. While on the ice he completed pioneering geological and topographical explorations over a huge area.

Book Description
Lt. Col. Richard Irving Dodge’s journals, written with utter candor for his eyes only, are the fullest firsthand account we possess of Gen. George Crook’s Powder River Expedition against the Sioux and Cheyenne Indians, which culminated in Col. Ranald S. Mackenzie’s resounding destruction of Dull Knife’s forces on November 25, 1876. Editor Wayne R. Kime, with his customary flair, has transcribed the journals from Dodge’s pocket-size notebooks and has provided a pertinent introduction and well-crafted, thoroughly illuminating annotations. Dodge’s journals will clearly prove useful to specialists in U.S. -Indian relations and the Great Sioux War, but they will also appeal to a variety of readers because of Dodge’s lively style and his range of subject matter. With vigorous intelligence, he describes such topics as General Crook as a military leader and strategist, the merits of infantry versus cavalry against the Plains Indians, the effects of subzero weather in Wyoming on a large army far from its sources of supply, and of course, the elusiveness of military glory.
