xviii,222 pp. Octavo in original blue cloth with one illustration (map) and three folding maps (at end). Original dustwrapper. Minor wear to the wrapper otherwise an exceptional copy. Not in AB. This account of the Franklin expedition deals primarily with addressing the fortunes of the expedition. The author has included a brief… account of the search for the lost expedition and has attempted to present an outline of the principal events which, while not associated with the search itself, have occurred in connection with the ill-fated enterprise. The narrative has been compiled from both published and non-published sources. Very scarce as many copies were destroyed during the second world war when Metheun's warehouse was bombed. Still in my opinion the best single volume summary of Franklin and the Search for period.
