Covers and spine have age-related toning and wear that has caused some discoloration and slight tearing at the edges. Ex-library from the Engineer School of the United States and the Rand McNally Library, with the information on the front inside cover and stamped onto a few pages at the beginning of the volume.

In 1878 to 1880, he led an expedition to the Canadian Arctic in the search for written records that had been left behind after Franklin’s lost expedition. Any issues with hinges or binding due to age or wear could provide an excellent opportunity for restoration and rebinding, if desired. FORN-SHELF-0677-BB-0223-JR891
