Z. A. Mudge (1813 88) was an American pastor, author and Arctic
exploration enthusiast. After the success of his popular books
North Pole Voyages and Arctic Heroes, he wrote this book on the
Western Union Telegraph Expedition. In the mid-nineteenth century
the Western Union Telegraph Company decided to create a telegraph
line that would run from San Francisco, California to Moscow,
Russia. The line was to run through Alaska and Siberia, and
although the project was abandoned in 1867, a large amount of
Arctic exploration had been achieved in the meantime. This book,
first published in 1880, is Mudge's compilation of the accounts of
some of the explorers who were involved in different stages of the
expedition, including the naturalist W. H. Dall during his
exploration in Alaska. Mudge goes on to include the Siberian
experiences of George Kennan and W. H. Bush (whose own account is
also reissued in this series).
