BretchesI have been fascinated with Antarctic Explorers like Sir Ernest Shackleton for many years. I learned about this book on a webpage for Shackleton's fans on Facebook. I had already read another book concerning the ill-fated Endurance and the survival of Shackleton and all his men on Elephant Island and later South Georgia Island. This book "Shackleton's Heroes" to me; is as good as the other. You really get an insight into what this team of men went thru in the Antarctic while trying to lay food supply depots to enable Shackleton and his men to cross the continent. Unfortunately; Shackleton never got the chance to make this crossing and so the efforts of these six courageous men were for naught. But; their story is one of bravery; persistence; camaraderie; and survival. Their sledging dogs should also not be forgotten. For without them; their efforts and doubtless survival would have been nearly impossible. I loved this book and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in Explorers.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Must read for lovers of nonfiction adventure storiesBy Cynthia VThis book tells the story of the Ross Sea Party; a group of men selected by Sir Ernest Shackleton to lay stores of food and other supplies at predetermined points inland from their base at McMurdo Sound to support Shackleton's Endurance expedition on the downside of his planned 1915 Antarctic journey. Shackleton's failed Endurance expedition and resulting trials and drama are fairly well known; not so the drama and trials of his support group. Not until now in Wilson McOrist's meticulously researched book; "Shackleton's Heroes."This book is a tremendous achievement; the first and to date only full length book that relates the full story of the Ross Sea Party expedition from first hand accounts of the participants' own expedition diaries; writings and remembrances. Author Wilson McOrist further strengthened his research by searching through all available archives; research data; visiting the actual sites and conducting interviews with surviving family members and fellow historians.If you are interested in the golden age of Antarctic expeditions; the era of Shackleton; Scott and countless others; of the courage and heroics of men who attempted to do the impossible in a relentlessly inhospitable landscape then this book should be on your reading list. The story is told in diary format from 1914 - 1916 with each diarist's writings shared so the reader is an eyewitness to each event but from differing points of view. The only time the author interjects his own words is to connect the writings or to advise the reader of knowledge integral to the narrative albeit unknowable at the time to the expedition members. The expedition story ends in 1917 but the author concludes the book by relating the surviving members' eventual outcomes.The early chapters are filled with the details of supplies; planning; sledging; longitudes and latitudes and the short first season of the expedition a harbinger of difficulties to come. I enjoyed the diarists' descriptions of the amazing sights and their awe and wonder of the fauna and stark beauty and grandeur of the Antarctic landscape by veteran as well as first time participants. In addition; the reader begins to get to know the men as their words bring the story to life and we join them in their tents and walk alongside them as they struggle with the sleds in good times and bad; in fair and foul weather often wearing inadequate clothing and relying on outmoded (even for the time) instruments.The book is a reminder of a time before modern convenience; when there were still places in the world where mankind had not yet tread. When good and brave men accomplished the seemingly impossible and did not in the doing lose their humanity. I very much enjoyed reading this historic testament to the memory of the courageous men who so endeavored. In particular the first six; whom Wilson christened the; "Mount Hope Party" because these six are the men who traversed 360 miles across the Great Ice Barrier to Mount Hope in the Beardmore Glacier to lay supplies and are those Shackleton justly praised in his book; "South" detailing his own ordeal. Messrs. Mackintosh; Joyce; Richards; Wild; Hayward; Spencer-Smith; Cope; Jack; Gaze and Stevens and the hardworking sled dogs who made all the difference. A solid four and a half of five stars.Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing me a ARC for my unbiased review.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. lovedBy Kindle CustomerReally good.
