In May 1845 Sir John Franklin sailed westward from England in
search of the Northwest Passage and was never seen again. Some
thirty-five years later, Heinrich Klutschak of Prague, artist and
surveyor on a small expedition led by Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka
of the 3rd US Cavalry Regiment, stumbled upon the grisly remains at
Starvation Cove of the last survivors among Franklin's men.
Overland to Starvation Cove is the first English translation of
Klutschak's account. A significant contribution to Canadian
exploration history, it is also an important anthropological
document, providing some of the earliest reliable descriptions of
the Aivilingmiut, the Utkuhikhalingmiut, and the Netsilingmiut. But
above all, it is a fascinating story of arctic adventure.
