Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Reprint. "When Sir John Franklin sailed off into the Arctic in 1845 in search of the elusive Northwest Passage it marked the beginning of a new era. The complete disappearance of the Franklin expedition with its 129 men sparked such international concern that the fate of this missing expedition displaced or at least overshadowed the search for the passage itself. Some forty expeditions were sent out in the next decade to establish the fate of the missing Franklin party. Eventually, Lady Jane Franklin engaged M'Clintock to command another search expedition which finally solved the Franklin mystery." - paraphrased from new Introduction to this reprint of the 1859 first edition. p. xl, 375.

From Preface: The following narrative of the bold adventure which has successfully revealed the last discoveries and the fate of Franklin, is published at the request of the friends of that illustrious navigator. The gallant M'Clintock, when he penned his journal amid the Arctic ices, had no idea whatever of publishing it; and yet there can be no doubt that the reader will peruse with the deepest interest the simple tale of how in a little vessel of 170 tons burthen, he and his well-chosen companions have cleared up this great mystery. To the honor of the British nation, and also let it be said to that of the United States of America, many have been the efforts made to discover the route followed by our missing explorers. The highly deserving men who have so zealously searched the Arctic seas and lands in this cause must now rejoince, that after all their anxious toils, the merit of rescuing from the frozen North the record of the last days of Franklin, has fallen to the share of his noble-minded widow. Lady Franklin has, indeed, well shown what a devoted and true-hearted English woman can accomplish. Discovery & Exploration, Arctic Exploration, Polar, Maritime. yxsli.
