Erskine Press, UK, 2015. Facsimile Edition. Paperback. Very Good/No Dust Jacket. Facsimile Copy. 32 pages, illustrated with 13 b/w pictures. Linen textured card covers. The original is probably the rarest of all first-hand accounts of Scott's Discovery Expedition. Ford was a steward on the expedition and is notable mainly for being the first man to break his leg skiing in the Antarctic.

Antarctica was published privately in 1908 and this is a facsimile of his original booklet. Ford, in a letter to a friend in 1963,confirmed that Scott himself gave him permission firstly to lecture in England and then later in Canada and Australia and also to write a book. He… Read More
