For the next thirty-five years the British Admiralty sent out expedition after expedition to probe the ice-bound waters of the Canadian Arctic in search of a route, and then, after 1845, to find Sir John Franklin, the Royal Navy hero who led the last of these Admiralty expeditions. Enthralling and often harrowing, \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Ate His Boots \u003c\/i\u003ecaptures the glory and the folly of this ultimately tragic enterprise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthony Brandt is the editor of the Adventure Classics series published by National Geographic Society Press, and the books editor at \u003ci\u003eNational Geographic Adventure\u003c\/i\u003e magazine.
