    Publishing Information New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1886.
    Description 1st US Edition; VOLUME I ONLY . xxv, 428 pages, illustrated, frontispiece, 16 full page engravings, 54 text illustrations, 5 maps, (1 folding), Volume I is in fine condition but Volume II is heavily water damaged but still readable, no map in rear pocket. Priced accordingly as realistically it is just for Volume I as Vol II as it is so damaged. Decorated blue cloth covers, titling to spine. Classic harrowing account of survival in the Arctic. After Greely had waited for reinforcements in vain for 2 years, he marched southwards and was finally forced to set up camp on Pim Island. The weeks that followed saw one of the most terrible Polar tragedies of all times. Hunger and cold took their toll and when Captain Schley's rescue expedition arrived, only 7 men, among them Greely, had survived.
