Shackleton's Epic: Recreating the World's Greatest Journey of Survival

Jarvis, Tim

William Collins

In this extraordinary adventure memoir and tie-in to the PBS documentary, Tim Jarvis, one of the world's leading explorers, describes his modern-day journey to retrace, for the first time ever—and in period clothing and gear—the legendary 1914 expedition of Sir Ernest Shackleton.
In early 1914, British explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton and his team sailed for Antarctica, attempting to be the first to reach the South Pole. Instead of glory, Shackleton and his crew found themselves in an epic struggle for survival: a three-year odyssey on the ice and oceans of the Antarctic that endures as one of the world’s most famous tales of adventure, endurance, and leadership ever recorded.
In the winter of 2013, celebrated explorer Tim Jarvis, a veteran of multiple polar expeditions, set out to recreate Sir Ernest Shackleton’s treacherous voyage over sea and mountain, outfitted solely with authentic equipment—clothing, boots, food, and tools—from Shackleton’s time, a feat that has never been successfully accomplished.
Shackleton's Epic is the remarkable record of Jarvis and his team’s epic journey. Beautifully designed and illustrated with dozens of photographs from the original voyage and its modern reenactment, it is a visual feast for readers and historians alike, and an essential new chapter in the story that has inspired adventurers across every continent for a century.

From demonstrating his rifle in front of King George III in   October, 1776, to his death at the Battle of Kings Mountain, author Tim L. Jarvis tells the story of Patrick Ferguson and his patented breech loading rifle known as the Ferguson Rifle.    The author provides facts, based off of original primary source documentation, as well as his own personal experiences with   his own reproduction Ferguson Rifle.  The different theories   surrounding the eventual disbandment of the rifle, the rifle's   dominant impact at the Battle of Brandywine Creek, and the   potentially fateful encounter Ferguson had with, who he believed to be, General Washington are all included within the chapters of this book.    The Ferguson Rifle is an important, but often untold story that   is part of the war that made America.  The author explains why, he believes, the Ferguson Rifle could have had a much larger impact and how it could have changed the American Revolution.
