Details:

Richard E. Byrd signed this hardcover copy of Alone, his classic account of survival and scientific observation during his solitary Antarctic expedition. The book is inscribed on the front free endpaper, "To Henry Fitzpatrick," and signed simply, "R. E. Byrd."

Good condition overall. The book retains its original dust jacket, which exhibits moderate edge wear, chipping, and small losses along the top edge and corners. The binding is sound, the pages are clean with expected age toning, and the inscription and signature remain bold and attractive. Copyright page notes this as the Fourth Impression, 1938.

Published in 1938, Alone recounts Byrd's extraordinary five-month isolation at Advance Base during the Second Byrd Antarctic Expedition. Battling extreme cold, darkness, and carbon monoxide poisoning, Byrd documented one of the greatest feats of endurance in the history of polar exploration. A pioneering naval officer and explorer, Byrd led multiple expeditions to both the Arctic and Antarctica and was among the most celebrated explorers of the twentieth century.
