| Meer info | "Franklin's second overland expedition made its departure from Fort Franklin on the Great Bear Lake. He traced the North American coast from the Mackenzie River to longitude 149 degrees 37' W.; while John Richardson's party explored the coast between the mouths of the Mackenzie and the Coppermine. The two expeditions together added 1,200 miles of coast to the knowledge of the American continent. The views of Arctic scenery are of extreme beauty. Franklin, the great arctic explorer, was governor of Tasmania from 1834-45. On his last expedition, in search of the Northwest Passage in 1845, the members all died from the terrible conditions they encountered." Rare in the original binding. |
