"Rae emerges from the shadows to take his place among the most intriguing of the 19th-century Arctic explorers. Delightful reading" "Rae...was hounded into obscurity, banished from the pantheon of approved Victorian Arctic explorers, and was the only important one not to be knighted." "Ken McGoogan's passionate and immaculately researched book...is a sort of Arctic whodunit."
Chronicles the accomplishments of Arctic explorer John Rae, his discoveries about Franklin's doomed expedition, and the campaign of discreditation that prevented Rae from receiving his just due as a great adventurer.
