Excerpt from The Cruise of the Florence: Or, Extracts From the Journal of the Preliminary Arctic Expedition of 1877-78
In dealing with the natives it is my wish, as doubtless it is your inclination, that you should be kind and liberal to the extent of your means and ability, and in all points of difference, should any arise, to be just, but firm.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is the chronicle of the 1877-78 precursory Arctic expedition organized by the United States government. The author, George Tyson, was the mission's commander and had also served with Captain Hall on the Polaris expedition. One of the first expeditions of its kind, this venture sought to gather supplies for the establishment of a future colony within the Arctic Circle, as well as to collect scientific data. In his account, Tyson relates the challenges faced by the crew, their fascinating interactions with the Inuit, and the scientific findings of the expedition. It details how the crew established relationships with the Inuit to procure dogs, sledges, and clothing for the future colony while simultaneously conducting meteorological observations and collecting zoological and botanical specimens. The insights recorded in this book not only offer valuable historical documentation of the expedition but also provide a unique glimpse into the Arctic's people and environment, highlighting the significance of the mission in laying the groundwork for future exploration in the region.
