Harry Stallworthy spent 20 years in the Canadian North with the RCMP. While stationed at Bache Peninsula; Stallworthy led one of the longest arctic sledge patrols in the history of the Force; searching for traces of German geologist Dr. Hans Krüger. In 1934 he set off with the Oxford University Ellesmere Land Expedition. He was present at the historic meeting of Roosevelt and Churchill in Quebec in 1944 and in the late 1950s was in charge of security for the eastern half of the DEW Line. From policing and prospecting in the Yukon to coordinating aerial surveillance patrols against rum-runners in the Gaspé; the story of Stallworthy's life was rarely uneventful. It captures the excitement; adventure; and mystery of the North.

Nice narrative...By Good-coffeeI purchased this and another; Harlan-Davidson; book as supplemental texts for a graduate level class I attended this past summer. The class focused on primary sources but required these books in order to provide a nice narrative of the events covered. I and my colleagues; all educators; found both books clear and concise. They were informataive and yet an easy read. The material in both America's Civil War and Emancipation and Reconstruction allowed for a better understanding of primary documents like the South Carolina Secession Declaration and the Tenure of Office Act. I recommend both books as well as Harlan-Davidson's Women in Antebellum Reform. I should also add that made the transaction seemless.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
