Book excerpt: Life is a daring adventure or it is nothing at all" - Hellen Keller I have been a professional hunter for 30 years and have had hundreds of clients. Glen Catt stands out as the finest, most respectful, God loving client of them all. In ways he will never know, Glen taught me to be a better husband, father and human being. I shall forever remain in his debt. - Mark Sullivan, Professional Hunter From my 8 years guiding experience in the Yukon, I have learned that some years are better than others and despite the fact that the year Glen came to the Yukon was a slow one, we were still very successful but only because of an all out effort Glen and I put into looking for a trophy moose. Glen knew that it was called hunting and not about simply killing. Glen had learned that if you appricated and work enough at something there is generally a reward waiting you. I'll never forget the morning Glen and I climbed "Danny's hill" and peaked over the back side and there was the prize we were looking for. Glen paused for a moment took a deep breath of pure fresh air, thanked God for allowing him to see the amazing view that was before him and harvested a trophy of a life time bull moose. - Deon Dicks, Master Guide

Download or read book Endurance written by Alfred Lansing and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2014-04-29 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experience “one of the best adventure books ever written” (Wall Street Journal) in this New York Times bestseller: the harrowing tale of British explorer Ernest Shackleton's 1914 attempt to reach the South Pole. In August 1914, polar explorer Ernest Shackleton boarded the Endurance and set sail for Antarctica, where he planned to cross the last uncharted continent on foot. In January 1915, after battling its way through a thousand miles of pack ice and only a day's sail short of its destination, the Endurance became locked in an island of ice. Thus began the legendary ordeal of Shackleton and his crew of twenty-seven men. When their ship was finally crushed between two ice floes, they attempted a near-impossible journey over 850 miles of the South Atlantic's heaviest seas to the closest outpost of civilization. In Endurance, the definitive account of Ernest Shackleton's fateful trip, Alfred Lansing brilliantly narrates the harrowing and miraculous voyage that has defined heroism for the modern age.
