Why would Doug Hall follow in Robert Peary's 1909 sled tracks to the North Pole, despite the grueling terrain and temperatures between 15 and 62 degrees below zero? His goal was to resurrect the spirit of Peary's journey in a world increasingly driven by instant gratification, short term business focus, and lack of sustained dedication to great causes. Peary succeeded where some 578 expeditions before him had failed. North Pole Tenderfoot is Doug's attempt to let the reader experience what is possible when one does what Peary did: think big.

A Booklist Best Literary Travel Book (2017) and Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book (2016) “A penetrating study of human character in a challenging environment. . . . [David Welky’s] seamless narrative, chilling at times and always thought-provoking, transports the reader to a time when the Arctic was virtually as harsh and inaccessible a place as the Moon or Mars.” —Natural History From a snow-swept hill in the ice fields northwest of Greenland, famed Arctic explorer Robert E. Peary spots a line of mysterious peaks dotting the horizon. In 1906, he names that distant, uncharted territory “Crocker Land.” Years later, two of Peary’s disciples, George Borup and Donald MacMillan, take the brave steps Peary never did: with a team of amateur adventurers and intrepid native guides, they endeavor to reach this unknown land and fill in the last blank space on the globe. What follows is hardship and mishap the likes of which none of the explorers could possibly have imagined. From howling blizzards and desperate food shortages to crime and tragedy, the explorers experience a remarkable journey of endurance, courage, and hope. Set in one of the world’s most inhospitable places, A Wretched and Precarious Situation is an Arctic tale unlike any other.

Excerpt from A Tenderfoot With Peary "Please write me a preface," said the boy, "if only of a hundred lines"-he is only a boy. Yet, like the youth of all ages, he is full of the spirit of adventure, possibly inherited from his forebears, who saw duty, in the army, or as pioneers on the far western plains. When our gallant little army fought its way across the continent to the Pacific coast, in the days now gone forever, it was regarded as the school of heroic endeavor for the youth of our nation. As well it might be, for the highway from east to west now happily spanned by the rails of commerce and peace was for more than a hundred years a trail of blood and death. And following back the course of the pioneers, it takes but a short stretch of the imagination to carry us to the heroic days of the fair-haired, blue-eyed Norsemen, who, impelled by the spirit of adventure, took to their ships after the farming season was over and sailed the seas near and far.
