the remarkable journal of Shackleton's polar-bound cat
KORTE INHOUD
0747535272.
In the annals of expeditionary history, Sir Ernest Shackleton's South - his account of the legendary Endurance expedition - stands out as a classic. Until now, however, another stirring record of this ill-fated 1914-1915 journey to the Antarctic has remained confined to the attention of specialists and scholars. It is the remarkable journal of the ship's cat, Mrs. Chippy, who accompanied the carpenter Harry 'Chippy' McNeish, from their home in Cathcart, Scotland.
