360pp, pictorial hardback, New, tiny bump to one corner, signed by Angie Butler and also with a label signed by Beau Riffenburgh. On 9 January 1909, Eric Stewart Marshall joined Ernest Shackleton and two others in raising the Union Jack high on the desolate Antarctic Plateau, the farthest south achieved by man. A month and a half later, his individual heroics saved his three companions, who would otherwise have been doomed to icy graves. Two years on, Marshall stood alone on a ridge deep in the interior of New Guinea, the first man from the Western world ever to see it. But Marshall received neither fame nor fortune from these great achievements and became ever more embittered. As time passed, much of Marshall’s spleen was directed at Shackleton. This book tells the story – and presents the stirring and previously unpublished diaries – of this remarkable explorer, the man who would prove to be Shackleton’s severest critic. The depth of Butler and Riffenburgh’s research is a feat of it own and we are given a unique insight into an Edwardian whose recognition is long overdue. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers. We take pride in offering carefully described books and excellent customer service.…
