Scott's Last Expedition - The Personal Journals Of Captain R. F. Scott, C.V.O., R.N., On His Journey To The South Pole

Originally published in 1913, this early work is a fascinating and detailed account of Sir Robert Falcon Scott's journey to the South Pole. Offering a complete collection of Scott's diary entries of his last expedition, this book is unparalleled in its insight and detail, constituting a must-read for anyone interested in this famous explorative journey and a worthy addition to any collection of antiquarian literature. Along with the diary entries are also a number of letters found in the tent where Scott died: ?We are very near the end, but have not and will not lose our good cheer. We have four days of storm in our tent and nowhere's food or fuel. We did intend to finish ourselves when things prove like this, but we have decided to die naturally in the track..." Sir James Matthew Barrie was a Scottish dramatist and author, best remembered for being the creator of Peter Pan. This scarce book is republished with an introductory biography of the author.
