The Man Who Ate His Boots: The Tragic History of the Search for the Northwest Passage

A Q&A with Anthony Brandt

Question: In The Man Who Ate His Boots you tell the rousing and often horrifying story of the search for the Northwest Passage, the holy grail of nineteenth century British exploration. Why did so many people invest such time, energy, and effort in to this search?

Anthony Brandt: Thereâ??s no simple answer. In part it had seemed since the 16th century--when the Spanish and the Portuguese were claiming all the easier routes to the Far East--like a peculiarly British mission to find this great unknown route to the East via the north; and after 1815, when the Napoleonic Wars ended with such a decisive British victory and the seas were theirs, the chance to use idle ships and idle seamen to find it became too attractive to resist. The British now thought they could do anything, no matter how difficult, especially at sea. But it was also to some degree the product of one manâ??s enthusiasm, and that was John Barrow, the powerful second secretary of the Admiralty, who believed in an open, unfrozen, polar sea; and he had an ally in the first lord of the Admiralty, the second Lord Melville, who supported the idea and was able to gather Parliamentary support. The British people were excited by the idea, too, and got behind it.

Question: Was the mission a foolâ??s errand?

Anthony Brandt: It proved to be so, and there were skeptics from the beginning. But at the time the Arctic was completely unknown. The map was blank above 80 degrees north in all areas, and above 70 degrees north in most. Nobody knew what the Arctic Ocean was like, or whether there even was an Arctic Ocean for that matter. For all they knew Greenland might extend to Asia, and some mapmakers thought it did. Others firmly believed that salt water could not freeze. The Greenland whalers knew better, but they werenâ??t scientists, they were commercial fishermen, and men like Barrow paid no attention to them. They werenâ??t gentlemen. In retrospect, then, it certainly seems like a foolâ??s errand, but life does not happen in retrospect, and what seems foolish now seemed like a noble effort at the time.

Question: Your title refers to John Franklinâ??s 1819 failed expedition where 11 of the 20 men in the exploration party died of starvation and the survivors were forced to eat their boots! Franklinâ??s expedition is perhaps the most famous, but there were dozens of missions sent to the Arctic in the first half of the nineteenth century, one failure after another. Each of the commanding officers felt as if he was prepared for the journey ahead, so what was it that doomed these expeditions to failure and death?

Anthony Brandt: The Arctic is intractable. No amount of preparation can ensure a personâ??s safety in an environment full of so much risk. The margin of survival is extremely narrow in the Arctic, and even small mistakes--the loss of a glove; forgetting to bring sun glasses; the sudden collapse of an ice floe--can kill you, and in a very short time. More of Franklinâ??s men might have survived in 1821 if he had turned back a week earlier, or even a few days. To survive in the Arctic, one must be very bold; one must also be very cautious.

Question: What has been the legacy of these explorers? Should we remember them as heroes?

Anthony Brandt: Hero is a word that makes me uneasy. One manâ??s hero is anotherâ??s devil. There are multiple sides to every story. I prefer the word courageous. Parry, Franklin, the two Rosses: whatever one thinks of the project they were engaged on, there can be no question of their courage. One holds oneâ??s breath as Lt. Parry picks his way between the ice and the shoreline, half blinded by fog sometimes, hoping the wind doesnâ??t shift and trap him between an ice floe perfectly capable of turning his ship into splinters and a shoreline composed of solid rock. These men were often religious, and one canâ??t help but think that they would almost have to be, to do what they did.

Question: The Man Who Ate His Boots is full of eccentric characters, many of whom bicker with each other in highly entertaining public battles. If you had to pick one, which historical character was most fun for you to bring to life?

Anthony Brandt: I suppose egotistical, cranky, battleworn, and almost always wrong John Ross was my favorite sailor on this trip. For me he gave the stereotype of the British eccentric new levels of meaning, and it was always fun to watch him mess things up. The fact that he had once been run through with a bayonet added a bit of spice to his character, and his pamphlet wars with various enemies were always entertaining. But for sheer love I'll opt for Lady Jane, John Franklin's wife and one of the most extraordinary women of her time, surely the most intrepid woman traveler of the first half of the 19th century. I keep hoping someone will write a new biography of her. I got carried away a few times and devoted too much space to her and had to cut back. I think the memorial to her husband in Westminster Abbey should really be a memorial to her.

Question: Thanks to global warming, in the summer of 2007, the Northwest Passage opened to ship traffic. What can you tell us about the future of the Northwest Passage?

Anthony Brandt: I wish I knew, so that I could invest in it. But, joking aside, the Passage was open in 2007 and 2008, but not in 2009. I doubt that it will be open reliably every summer for a while, perhaps a decade. But inevitably, if warming continues at the present rate, I donâ??t see how it wonâ??t open every summer by 2020, and that will cut thousands of miles off the present sea routes to the Pacific from the Atlantic, and vice versa, reducing costs for shippers all over the world. Is this a good thing? Obviously, only in the short term, and only for shippers--and possibly oil and natural gas producers, if they find as much oil and natural gas as they think exists in the Arctic Basin. Already the Northwest Passage is a tourist attraction of sorts, and a Russian icebreaker makes the trip every summer with paying passengers. Maybe theyâ??ll take me along on one of these trips. Iâ??d like to see it, if I can sleep in a warm cabin and eat good food while Iâ??m there.

Reebok Women's Zig Pulse Running Shoe

ZigTech - The Energy Drink for your Feet

What is ZigTech?
ZigTech is a unique, dramatic, geometric, zig-zag shaped outsole engineered with a special lightweight foam. Everything about Reebok’s ZigTech footwear is designed to conserve energy and return it to the athlete.

How do ZigTech shoes work?
ZigTech cushions and absorbs the impact of the heel strike and sends a wave of energy along the length of the shoe, propelling the athlete forward with each step. With most athletic footwear, energy return is focused on the vertical impact of the heel strike. With ZigTech, energy is transferred horizontally along the zigs, so more of it is returned to the forefoot.


Reebok ZigTech absorbs impact and sends a wave of energy along the length of the shoe

The Result:
With more efficient shoes, your muscles don’t have to work as hard. ZigTech's combination of energy return and cushioning reduces wear and tear on key leg muscles by up to 20 percent.

Beth Levine Shoes

Beth Levine Shoes
If you love shoesâ??and who doesn't?â??you know that nothing says as much about a womanâ??s style as her taste in footwear. Long before Jimmy Choo and Christian Louboutin, Beth Levine was designing shoes that were objects of desire and even lust.
Levine, who introduced mules, stilettos, and fashion boots to the American market, was a visionary. Born a farmgirl, she took her design inspiration from natureâ??and everything else: auto racing, patchwork quilts, even the 1969 moon landing. Fashion-forward and exquisitely constructed, Levineâ??s shoes were worn by stars like Marilyn Monroe and Barbra Streisand, favored by designers like Halston, Oscar de la Renta, and Geoffrey Beene, and collected by Azzedine Alaïa and Manolo Blahnik.
This bookâ??s full-color photos of Levineâ??s creationsâ??from vinyl cowboy boots to sublime black silk pumpsâ??display her shoes as touchstones of glamour and, ultimately, works of art.
â??Before MANOLO BLAHNIK, there was the cutting-edge shoe designer BETH LEVINE (1914-2006). Stockinged boots that extended into a wrapped bodysuit, slides lined in Astroturf, and driving pumps in the forms of carsâ??all were part of her rich vocabulary, being celebrated in BETH LEVINE SHOES, by HELENE VERIN.â?
-Andre Leon Talley, VOGUE April 2009

Widely hailed as the â??First Lady of American Shoe Designâ??, Beth worked under her husbandâ??s label to create some of the most innovative and popular shoes of the 60' and 70â??s, including Nancy Sinatraâ??s boots that walked all over you in her hit single, â??These Boots Are Made for Walkinâ??.â?
-Callie Watts, BUST.com

I knew the name but not much about the woman, so when the book Beth Levine Shoes landed on my desk, I quickly flipped the pages, reading the quotes and staring at the shoes, so intricate, creative and whimsicalâ?¦ The book offers insight into arguably the most influential American shoe designer of the 20th century. The pictures alone are worth the $35 price.

Men's Style: The Thinking Man's Guide to Dress

Men's Style: The Thinking Man's Guide to Dress
Guys don't wear wolf pelts anymore, but not much else has changed in the world of men's clothes: the right suit, or tie, or shirt, or shoes still projects mystery, erotic potential, and power. And to negotiate these hurdles with style and confidence, Men's Style is indispensable---a valuable source of practical advice for how to dress in a world of conflicting fashion imperatives, and a witty guide to the history, trends, codes, and conventions of men's attire.

In chapters and amusing sidebars on shoes, suits, shirts and ties, formal and casual wear, underwear and swimsuits, cufflinks and watches, coats, hats, and scarves, Russell Smith steers a confident course between the twin hazards of blandness and vulgarity to articulate a philosophy of dress that can take you anywhere.

Here you'll find the rules for looking the part at the office, a formal function, or the hippest party---and learn when you can toss those rules aside. And you'll find level answers to all of your questions. What color suit should a man buy first? Should socks match the belt, pants, or shoes? What tuxedos are always in, and which aren't ever? And what's required of ambiguous social situations like "dress casual" and "black-tie optional"? The answers are here, in a book that's full of trivia, history, and guidance---finally, the perfect guide for brothers, fathers, sons, and selves.
