Two New Books About Admiral Byrd and Stuart Paine

New Books Published by the University of Missouri Press

The University of Missouri Press has published two books that might be of interest to some of our patrons. One title published in 2007 is: Footsteps on the Ice: the Antarctic Diaries of Stuart D. Paine, Second Byrd Expedition (ISBN: 978-0-8262-1741-7). Stuart Paine was a dog driver, radio operator and navigator on Byrd’s Second Antarctic Expedition. It is edited by Merlyn L. Paine, the daughter of Stuart Paine. http://press.umsystem.edu/spring2007/paine.htm

The other book is an extensive biography about Admiral Richard E. Byrd and it has just recently been published: Explorer: The Life of Richard E. Byrd, by Lisle Rose (ISBN: 978-0-8262-1782-0). Mr. Rose conducted research in the Byrd Papers at The Ohio State University Archives and the Archival Program provided many of the photographs used throughout the book. http://press.umsystem.edu/spring2008/rose.htm
