Mary Morton Cowan is the author of Timberrr ... A History of Logging in New England, winner of Maine Library Association's Lupine Honor Award, and Ice Country, an historical novel based on Donald MacMillan's Arctic adventures. She lives near Sebago Lake in Maine.
"This engaging biography is also a solid overview of an era of exploration that still captivates adventurous youths. It will find an audience among readers who enjoyed Katherine Kirkpatrick's The Snow Baby (Holiday House) or adventure novels such as Roland Smith's Peak (Harcourt, both 2007)." --School Library Journal "A good read for reluctant male readers." --Library Media Connection "The severe hardships and wild beauties of the Arctic come through as strongly as [Cowan's] case for the significance of [MacMillan's] achievements. Extensive back matter concludes." --Booklist
