| Meer info | Continuing the three-hundred-year quest to find a waterborne passage through Canada's frozen upper reaches, the renowned British explorer Sir John Franklin led a Royal Navy expedition to the Arctic in 1845 -- and vanished. Finding Franklin became an international cause celebre, and in 1850 the U.S. Navy sent out a two-ship rescue party with Robert Randolph Carter, scion of one of Virginia's first families, as one of the crew. Carter's day-by-day journal of that rescue attempt has only now been transcribed, edited, and annotated for publication. Exquisitely detailed, it gives historians and general readers a rare inside account of this extraordinary odyssey, early polar exploration, and life in the antebellum U.S. Navy. |
