L.C. Tang's Reviews > Ancient Mariner: The Arctic Adventures of Samuel Hearne, the Sailor Who Inspired Coleridge's Masterpiece

I received an autographed copy of this book. Reading it was a slow start, as the first few chapters were hard to get into, but I enjoyed reading about this adventurous sailor. I appreciated the table of contents, and the chapters are organized into three parts. The epilogue was quite interesting, as the author, Ken McGoogan, shares about this journey of tracking the mariner Samuel Hearne in order to gather the research to publish this book. At the end of the book, there is a list of illustration credits and a bibliography, which is a great reference tool. Acknowledgements start at page 321, and you can read about his experience with the journey of writing and publishing this book. Overall, an interesting read, especially for this sailor.
