The spectacular, true story of a scrappy teenager from New York's Lower East Side who stowed away on the most remarkable feat of science and daring of the Jazz Age, The Stowaway is "a thrilling adventure that captures not only the making of a man but of a nation" (David Grann, bestselling author of Killers of the Flower Moon).It was 1928: a time of illicit booze, of Gatsby and Babe Ruth, of freewheeling fun. What better moment to launch an expedition to Antarctica, the planet's final frontier?Everyone wanted in on the adventure. The Great War was over and American optimism was higher than the stock market.
And then, the night before the expedition's flagship set off, Billy Gawronski--a mischievous, first-generation New Rockefellers and Vanderbilts begged to be taken along as mess boys, and newspapers across the globe covered the planning's every stage.
