Adolphus Washington Greely
The amazing life of the leader of the deadly Lady Franklin Bay Expedition. A Union soldier who rose to prominence during the bloodiest battles of the Civil War, Adolphus Washington Greely went on to command black troops in yellow-fever-ridden New Orleans, survive a brutal three years in Greenland, tame mobs after the San Francisco earthquake, organize the National Geographic Society, and, at 91, become the oldest person to receive the United States Congressional Medal of Honor. During his lifetime, he was instrumental in advancing American scientific exploration and promoting civil service and was the most well-known person in the world. Yet, barely 80 years after his death, he is relatively unknown. This is the story of his remarkable life.
