The Greatest Show in the Arctic: the American exploration of Franz Josef
Land, 1898-1905
By PJ Capelotti
Published By University of Oklahoma Press
A new book entitled "The Greatest Show in the Arctic: the American
exploration of Franz Josef Land, 1898-1905" by PJ Capelotti and
published by University of Oklahoma Press is now available for purchase.
Abbreviated Summary: The first history of the three American
expeditions, launched from the Russian archipelago of Franz Josef Land,
that ended in abject failure, their exploits consigned to near-oblivion.
These ventures: the Wellman expedition (1898-99), the Baldwin-Ziegler
(1901-2), and the Fiala-Ziegler (1903-5) have much to tell us about the
personalities, politics, and economics of exploration in their day. In
The Greatest Show in the Arctic, the first book to chronicle all three
expeditions, P. J. Capelotti explores what went right and what, in the
end, went tragically wrong.
