Riassunto

Over the winter of 1926-27, Jack Hornby led a lunatic expedition to the freezing Barren Lands of the Canadian North-West Territories. The two men he took with him on this doomed journey were his naive 18 year old cousin, Edgar Christian, and an oldfriend, Harold Adlard. All three men died of starvation. Two years later a Mounties patrol found the cabin and the bodies.They also found Edgar's diary and letters stashed in the stove - his final act of courage. In this thoroughly researched andfascinating book, Clive Powell-Williams tells the story of these three English men whose fascination with testing themselves against the elements led them to the final test of endurance and courage.
