Maclaren. - New - Unread - 1St Edition - May Have Minor Shelf Wear To The Edges Dust Jacket. - For More Information On Condition. - Please See All Photos. - Back's Journal Is Particularly Valuable Because It Is The Only One That Records The Entire Expedition; Franklin Himself Relied On It For His Own Published Account Of The Journey.

Maclaren Edits And Comments On Two Other Documents Written By Back During The Expedition: A Candid Letter To His Brother And A Poem Dramatizing The Disaster That Claimed The Lives Of Eleven Of The Twenty Explorers In Franklin's Party. Arctic Artist Will Be Of Interest To Franklin And Arctic Enthusiasts, And To Canadian Studies, Northern Studies, Art History, And Anthropology Specialists.…
