Navy cloth boards, blue metallic cover and spine titles, light shelf wear. Deckled pages very good, clean; lt. fox at endps. Antiquarian name pencilled inside cover. Bind fine;hinges intact. Illustrated throughout w/intriguing header and tailpiece decoration by Richard Harrison. Sharp, near fine first printing. When Admiral Richard E. Byrd set out on his second Antarctic expedition in 1934, he was already an international hero for having piloted the first flights over the North and South Poles. His plan for this latest adventure was to spend six months alone near the bottom of the world, gathering weather data and indulging his desire "to taste peace and quiet long enough to know how good they really are." But early on things went terribly wrong. Isolated in the pervasive polar night with no hope of release until spring, Byrd began suffering inexplicable symptoms of mental and physical illness. By the time he discovered that carbon monoxide from a defective stovepipe was poisoning him, Byrd was already engaged in a monumental struggle to save his life and preserve his sanity. When Alone was first published in 1938, it became an enormous bestseller. This book keeps alive Byrd s unforgettable narrative for generations of readers. 296 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.

Bind fine, square; hinges intact. Admiral Byrd, 41 at time of this printing, details his latest exploration and flight over Antarctica. Here, in Little America, is the story of the Byrd Antarctic expedition told for the first time. Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd left the States on October 13, 1928, aboard the C.A. Larsen, headed for New Zealand. The Bolling, City of New York, and James Clark Ross ships, all loaded with the necessary planes, dogs, men and equipment, and had been dispatched previously. When all of the ships reached New Zealand, they condensed the load to only two ships, the Bolling and the City of New York. The expedition ultimately would reach the Ross Ice Shelf on December 28, 1928. Days of laborious unloading and building shelters followed the Expedition's arrival in Antarctica, resulting in a complete village that Byrd named "Little America." Aside from an administration building and bunk house, the complex included three radio antenna towers, a mess hall, hangars for the airplanes, storage sheds and a machine shop that contained the first generator of electricity in Antarctica. Includes detailed index. Set and Printed by The Knickerbocker Press. Made in the USA. 422 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
