The Coldest Crucible: Arctic Exploration and American Culture
Michael F. Robinson
In the late 1800s, "Arctic Fever" swept across the nation as dozens of American expeditions sailed north to the Arctic to find a sea route to Asia and, ultimately, to stand at the North Pole. This book argues, was an activity that unfolded in America as much as it did in the wintry hinterland.
