The American explorer Charles Francis Hall (1821 71) made two
voyages to the Arctic to determine the fate of Sir John Franklin's
lost expedition. While there, he lived with Inuit, learning their
language and adopting their way of life. Edited after his death and
published in 1879, this account of his second expedition, from 1864
to 1869, brings the conditions he endured vividly to life. Two
punishing sledge journeys to King William Island revealed evidence
of Franklin's encampment there, but also the stark fact that
rumours of survivors were unfounded. The work, which contains a
number of fine engravings and maps, also includes appendices
presenting Hall's detailed scientific observations and notes of his
conversations with the Inuit, which disclosed evidence of
cannibalism among Franklin's crew. Based on his earlier expedition,
Hall's Life with the Esquimaux (1864) is also reissued in this
series."
