Description: From the author's introduction: "This book is not a record of scientific investigations. While engaged, under the orders of the Navy Department, in arranging and elaborating the results of the late expedition to the Arctic seas, I have availed myself of the permission of the Secretary to connect together the passages of my journal that could have interest for the general reader, and to publish them as a narrative of the adventures of my party. I have attempted very little else." Elisha Kane, an American physician and Arctic explorer, is most famous for leading an unsuccessful expedition to the to the northwestern Greenland to search for the British explorer John Franklin. The full name of this set is Arctic Explorations: The Second Grinnell Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin, 1953, '54, '55. PROCEEDS BENEFIT OUR LOCAL LIBRARY PROGRAMS - THANK YOU!
