Description

A new take on historical storytelling, HISTORY, F*CK YEAH showcases incredible, little-known tales with a dash of millennial humor.

A true story of disaster and perseverance: When their ship becomes trapped in ice and their leader abandons them, the men of the Canadian Arctic Expedition must find a way to survive.
In 1913, a beat-up old whaling ship called the Karluk was taking the men of the Canadian Arctic Expedition north of Alaska. They were in search of an undiscovered continent and things were going just swell, until their ship became trapped in an ice floe and their leader, Viljamur Steffanson, mushed his huskies for the mainland and left them for dead.

The Karluk drifted for months, aimlessly traveling hundreds of miles farther north. When it became clear that no rescue was coming, Captain Robert Bartlett -- who became the de facto leader of the expedition after Steffanson went out for a pack of cigarettes and never came home -- knew their only hope rested on his shoulders. So he and his Inuit companion Kataktovik traveled over 700 miles through Siberia to try to reach civilization.

Told in a casual tone with splashes of modern humor, HISTORY, F*CK YEAH: Canadian Arctic Wreckspedition is a true story of hilarious incompetence and spectacular triumph.

What makes the HISTORY, F*CK YEAH series different than any historical books you've read before? Easy to read: unlike traditional history books, the HFY series is told in conversational tone with as much entertainment and as little fluff as possible.

Historically accurate: although told with plenty of humor, each story is painstakingly researched, and includes a list references, notes, and recommendations for further reading at the end.

Incredible stories: many stories featured in the HFY series are largely "lost to history" or, at least, lost to the general public. Regale your friends with astonishing retellings of the events which influenced the world as we know it today, with a focus on the individuals who lived them.
