Vanished beyond the map : the mystery of lost explorer Hubert Darrell / Adam Shoalts.
"Canada's greatest adventurer sets out into the wilderness to solve a mystery more than 100 years old. In November 1910, legendary explorer Hubert Darrell vanished in the uncharted wilderness of the North West Territories. Darrell was surveying and filling in blanks on existing maps in the western Arctic near the Anderson River. Newspapers as far afield as Los Angeles and New York covered his disappearance, but despite clues reported by Dene trappers and Mounted Police inquiries, his fate remains a mystery. While his disappearance sparked headlines, Darrell would soon also vanish, ironically, from the pages of history. Using archival material and his zeal for adventure, Shoalts retraces parts of Darrell's routes and searches for clues to his disappearance in order to bring his story to light for the first time. Part detective story, part biography, and part first-person travel narrative, Vanished Beyond the Map combines expedition with historical research to solve one of exploration history's enduring cold cases ... the mystery of Hubert Darrell."-- Provided by publisher.
