Highlights
Quality
This is an excellent book blending the stories of the california gold rush with the story of modern day exploration.
The first part of the book, dealing with the shipwreck, rivals any titanic story and i'm surprised it's not better known.
Shipping
The story of the ship sinking as fantastic and made you feel you were there.
The root of the story is the people and the ship and the relationships and human emotion.
Competitiveness
Comprehensive research and details, including those of the individual participants.
A middle american boyhood of a genius.
