"The Quest for Frank Wild tells the gripping story of one woman's determination to unravel the truth of the final years of Frank Wild, one of the greatest British Edwardian Polar explorers of all time. Frank Wild, Sir Ernest Shackleton's closest friend and right hand man was the only explorer to serve on five expeditions to the Antarctic during the Heroic Age. The last sixteen years of his life were spent in South Africa, supposedly in penury, unable to come to terms with Ernest Shackleton's death and forgotten by his fellowmen. He died suddenly in the small mining town of Klerksdorp near Johannesburg. The little that was known of his later life in South Africa has been maligned by hearsay and sensational journalism and most tragically of all, no-one knew where he was buried. An outstanding man lost in life and in death. Angie Butler's seven year journey finally uncovers an extraordinary untold story and by doing so fulfils Wild's wish to have his memoirs published. The memoirs stand alone as a unique account of Edwardian Polar exploration"--page [4] of cover.
