Oh my, this book... it was one of those that you know the tragic ending, but you cannot stop reading. Buddy Levy breaks down the entire Greeley Expedition, and gives us a picture into the lives and travels of the ill-fated crew. They were beset with trial after trial, and with the many different issues they faced, they did their best to survive in the rugged terrain.

While this is nothing new, the way this book lays out the expedition, taking you step by step through the frigid winters, you felt as though you were there. I could not put this down, and I hate that it took me so long to pick it up! I look forward to reading more by this author.
