Fifteen gripping tales of determination, strength of mind,
perseverance, and fortitude. Although survival is often taken for
granted - something every human strives to achieve on a daily basis
- it is just this everyday imperative that makes for the most
exciting stories. When something goes wrong, when survival is
threatened, often by something as simple and sudden as a boat
overturning or a traveler losing his way, this is when the
necessity of survival is no longer just another daily chore. This
is when something as intrinsic as breathing or swallowing becomes
the most essential need and the most sought-after desire. Great
American Survival Stories includes contributions from Jack London,
Theodore Roosevelt, John Wesley Powell, Owen Chase, John Muir,
Osborne Russell, Stephen Crane, Francis Parkman, Henry David
Thoreau, Richard Henry Dana Jr., and others.
