Review:
Hearts of Courage is the story of the Gillam airplane crash in Alaska that happened in 1943. The airplane crashed in the middle of the snowy Alaskan mountains. The details of the hardship and hunger the passengers had to go through and their will to survive are absolutely inspiring. Six of the passengers on the plane survived this horrible ordeal.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys adventures in the wilderness. This is an easy read that is very touching and well written.
