The Ultimate Adventure Collection - When the world's most famous outdoor/adventure magazine created a list of the 100 Greatest True Adventure Books of All Time, the list became a popular classic. Now, you can read six of the top books on that list, stories of exploration, survival, and daring, in The Ultimate Adventure Collection.
This thrilling collection includes:
The Worst Journey in the World by Apsley Cherry-Garrard
Journals by Meriwether Lewis and William Clark
Exploration of the Colorado River by John Wesley Powell
Roughing It by Mark Twain
Two Years Before the Mast by Richard Henry Dana
South by Ernest Shackleton
Apsley Cherry-Garrard was a member of Robert Falcon Scott's doomed 1910 expedition to the South Pole, and his account is both unforgettable and heartbreaking. While documenting their attempt to find a water route to the Pacific Ocean, Lewis and Clark created a national epic with their descriptions of massive mountain ranges, huge grizzlies and Indian tribes who had never before seen a white man.
"We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river yet to explore.
What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know
not; what walls rise over the river, we know not. Ah, well!" John Wesley Powell
Exploration of the Colorado River
John Wesley Powell's account of the first descent into the Grand Canyon is no less exciting, with its descriptions of overpowering rapids and hostile Indians. Mark Twain's six-year sojourn in the American West, during which he met some pretty interesting characters, produced one of the funniest books ever written, and Richard Henry Dana created an American classic when he escaped life in Boston for that on the high seas. Finally, Ernest Shackleton's account of his expedition to the Antarctic became a testament to human courage and endurance when his ship, the Endurance, broke apart in the ice and he and his men set sail in open boats over treacherous seas.
