Complete Title: A narraitve of the life of Solomon Mack containing an account of the many severe accidents he met with during a long series of years together 1811 [Hardcover]. Author: Solomon Mack

This title tells the tragic story of Captain Robert Falcon Scott and his British team who in November 1911 began a trek across the snows of Antarctica, striving to be the first to reach the South Pole. After marching and skiing more than 900 miles, the men reached the Pole in January 1912, only to suffer the terrible realization that a group of five Norwegians had been there a month earlier. Scott and his four companions died on the return journey. Whether they were courageous heroes or tragic incompetents has been debated ever since.

This book was written by the author when he was 12-13 years of age. It consists of a collection of stories describing events experienced by the author in the North Carolina neighborhood where he lived with his family in the 1960's. The author is now in his early 50's, but he believes these simple but elegant stories will offer enjoyable reading to children ages 8-12 years of age. These stories might even be enjoyed by adults who also grew up in America at that time. The book is arranged chronologically in chapters, and would be enjoyed most if read from the beginning to the end. The book's illustrator, Jeff Wallenhaupt, now also in his 50's, grew up with the author in the neighborhood described in the book, and is the character "Wally" who appears in many of the stories. The illustrations were created by him around the same time as the book was written.
