| | Amazon.com: Books: Tom Crean: Unsung Hero of the Scott and Shackleton Antarctic Expeditions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19) |
 | | Crean was not a diarist, so Smith relied on interviews, letters, the diaries of Crean's contemporaries, and previously published works for this captivating account of one man's often overlooked contributions. |
 | | Crean's exploits are almost unbelievable, for along with Shackleton and Frank Worsley, he made the first crossing of South Georgia to save their comrades stranded on Elephant Island. |
 | | Thomas Crean was born on July 20, 1877, at Gurtuchrane, a remote farming area a short distance to the west of the village of Anascaul on the Dingle Peninsula, in Ireland's County Kerry. |
