True-life stories are often more captivating than even the most thrilling fictional tale. Consider the heroic saga of Ernest Shackleton and the crew of the Endurance, Christopher McCandless’ journey into the Alaskan wilderness, Lindbergh’s historic flight across the Atlantic, the “perfect storm’s” Andrea Gail, the ill-fated Donner Party, and the fortunate Aron Ralston whose story was recently portrayed in the gripping film, 127 Hours.
These are stories of adventure, exploration, triumph and mishap. Whether told in their own words via diaries and journals, or chronicled by others decades later, their tales have become suspenseful page turners and blockbuster films that rival anything dreamed up by Stevenson, London or Ludlum.
