The U.S. Grinnell Expedition In Search Of Sir John Franklin: A Personal Narrative (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780548215746)

The U.S. Grinnell Expedition In Search Of Sir John Franklin: A Personal Narrative is a book written by Elisha Kent Kane about his experiences as part of the Grinnell Expedition, which was launched in 1850 to search for the lost Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin. Kane was a physician and explorer who served as the expedition's second-in-command, and his book provides a detailed account of the challenges and triumphs of the journey. The expedition faced harsh weather conditions, dangerous ice floes, and encounters with Inuit people, but ultimately failed to find Franklin. Despite this, Kane's book is an important historical document that sheds light on the early days of Arctic exploration and the quest to uncover the fate of Franklin and his crew. The book includes maps, illustrations, and personal anecdotes that bring the expedition to life, making it a fascinating read for anyone interested in adventure, history, or the Arctic.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
