In Gilded Age America Arctic explorers were fabulous celebritiesassured of riches and nearimmortality so long as they reached the North Pole first Of the many attempts to meet that goal three American expeditions launched from the Russian archipelago of Franz Josef Land ended in abject failure their exploits consigned to nearoblivion Even so these venturesthe Wellman expedition 189899 the BaldwinZiegler 19012 and the FialaZiegler 19035have much to tell us about the personalities politics and economics of exploration in their day In The Greatest Show in the Arctic the first book to chronicle all three expeditions PnbspJ Capelotti explores what went right and what in the end went tragically wrong The cast of colorful characters from the Franz Josef Land forays included Walter Wellman a Chicago journalist and bon vivant running from debts his mistress and an illegitimate daughter Evelyn Briggs Baldwin a deranged meteorologist with a fetish for balloons and a passion for Swedish conserves and Anthony Fiala a pious photographer in search of God in the Arctic Featuring an international cast of supporting characters worthy of a threering circus The Greatest Show in the Arctic follows each of the three expeditions in turn from spectacular feats of financing to their bitter ends Along the way the explorers accumulated considerable geographic knowledge and left a legacy of placenames Through close study of the expeditions journals Capelotti reveals that the Franz Josef Land endeavors foundered chiefly because of poor leadership and internal friction not for lack of funding as historians have previously suspected Presenting tales of noble intentions novel inventions and epic miscalculations The Greatest Show in the Arctic brings fresh life to a unique and underappreciated story of American exploration
