A classic title for one's travel and exploration collectionBy Robert FisherA few weeks ago; while going through my books; I came across Cold by Laurence M. Gould; second in command of Richard E. Byrd's 1928-1930 Antarctic expedition. I've had it for years and finally read it. This sparked an interest in polar exploration and not surprisingly; I decided to read what Admiral Byrd himself had to say. I enjoyed Little America; one comes away impressed with the efforts of the men in one of the world's harshest regions as well as the difficulties Byrd had in raising money for the expedition. We also see how thorough preparations paid off. If you like stories of adventure and expedition; Little America is well worth your while.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
