“An invaluable and easily digestible account of the epic journey.”—Booklist
“What makes this single volume of journal selections more powerful than its contemporaries is the use of other corps members' diaries to provide further details about the journey. . . . This book will bring the expedition alive to a new generation of readers.”—Library Journal
