Item Overview Description: Title: Alone Author: Richard E. Byrd - Richard Evelyn Byrd Jr. was an American naval officer who specialized in feats of exploration. He was a recipient of the Medal of Honor, the highest honor for valor given by the United States, and was a pioneering American aviator, polar explorer, and organizer of polar logistics. Aircraft flights in which he served as a navigator and expedition leader crossed the Atlantic Ocean, a segment of the Arctic Ocean, and a segment of the Antarctic Plateau. Byrd claimed that his expeditions had been the first to reach both the North Pole and the South Pole by air. However, his claim to have reached the North Pole is disputed. [Courtesy Wikipedia] Publisher: G.P. Putnam's Sons City: New York Year: 1938 Printing Information: Signed Edition Binding Style: Hardcover Pagination: 296 pages Width: 5.5" Height: 8.25" Book Details: This author signed copy of Richard E. Byrd's autobiographical account of his near death experience during an Antarctic expedition in 1934 is bound by dark blue cloth covered boards with the title emblazoned on the front cover in light blue letters. The front and back dust jacket flaps are included with this text. The front flap of the dust jacket reads: "This is the book that Admiral Byrd was four years deciding whether to write - the account of an experience so intimate - and perhaps so catastrophic - that for a long time he could not bring himself to tell it. It is an experience that only one man could write about because it happened to just one man, and that man was completely alone in the South Polar night. Nobody else was there to listen. Nobody else was there to know. It is the account of Byrd's five months' isolation at Advance Base, the place, far south of Little America, where in 1934 he nearly died." Condition / Notes: The boards of this text display moderate indications of toning, rubbing, and shelfwear. The binding and hinges are solid and intact. There is some light toning visible on the pages though the text remains clear and legible throughout the book. - 10395-050518-IN-02134
