On February 10, 1911, we started for the South to establish depots, and continued our journey until April 11.

Each sledge weighed 660 pounds, and we had six dogs for each. The upper barrier...

Since then Scott s reputation has vacillated between two extremes: Was he a martyred hero, the beau ideal of a brave and selfless explorer, or a bumbling fool whose mistakes killed him and his entire party?Pilgrims...
