True Tales of Arctic Heroism in the New World by A. W. Greely
"True Tales of Arctic Heroism in the New World" by Major-General A. W. Greely is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles remarkable stories of bravery and perseverance from various explorers and their encounters in the Arctic regions of North America. It aims to highlight the lesser-known, yet inspiring acts of heroism exhibited by both men and women throughout the history of Arctic exploration. The opening portion
of the book serves as a preface that outlines Greely’s intent to commemorate the spirit of heroism that has characterized Arctic expeditions. He emphasizes that these tales reflect not only the challenges faced by famous explorers, such as Henry Hudson and Sir John Franklin, but also the valiant efforts of many lesser-known individuals who contributed to these daring adventures. The text indicates that the stories will provide a vivid account of their experiences, tales drawn from authentic sources rather than imaginative embellishments, meant to inspire future generations and rekindle interest in Arctic heroism.
