Book Description
Excerpt from Across Greenland's Ice-Fields: The Adventures of Nansen and Peary on the Great Ice-Cap The record of polar discovery teems with romantic stories of adventure, the relation of which is most useful as a means of preserving an interest among us in the exploration of the unknown parts of our globe, and of arousing that spirit of emulation which, in the years that are gone, built up the greatness of our country. Richard Hakluyt wrote "the prose epic of the British nation." He preserved, for future generations, a record of the mighty deeds of gallant adventurers which would otherwise have been forgotten. He set an example which, fortunately for our country, has been followed, century after century, by many diligent compilers. Their labours are most valuable, for they spread and make popular a branch of knowledge than which none is more important. "Across Greenland's Ice-Fields" is a volume which well serves this useful purpose. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
