"From policing and prospecting in the Yukon, patrolling Chesterfield Inlet, establishing the RCMP's post in Stony Rapids, sledging across Ellesmere Island, coordinating aerial surveillance patrols in the Gaspe to guarding Winston Churchill and Franklin D. Roosevelt in Quebec City in 1944, Harry Stallworthy's life was always full of adventure." "While stationed at Bache Peninsula, Ellesmere Island in the 1930s, Stallworthy led one of the longest arctic sledge patrols in RCMP history, searching for traces of German geologist Dr. Hans Kruger. In 1934 he set off with the Oxford University Ellesmere Land Expedition with Eddie Shackleton, son of the famous Antarctic explorer. Shackleton recalls that the Expedition "owed so much to this remarkable Polar man.""--BOOK JACKET.
