Description: The North-West Passage and the Plans for the Search for Sir John Franklin by John Brown Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description An enthusiastic promoter of polar exploration, John Brown (1797–1861) published in 1858 this account of previous Arctic voyages and the searches for the Franklin expedition. It is reissued here in one volume with its 1860 sequel, which covers the 1857–9 expedition that discovered evidence of the missing men. Publisher Description When John Brown (1797–1861) developed a defect in his eyesight, he could no longer embark on extended voyages for the East India Company. After making a fortune selling gold and diamonds, he cultivated his geographical interests, and was elected to the Royal Geographical Society in 1837. Brown was especially interested in the Arctic, and he became concerned about the missing Franklin expedition to find the North-West Passage. In this substantial work, first published in 1858 and reissued here in one volume with its 1860 sequel, Brown provides a detailed account of previous polar expeditions before turning to the efforts to find Franklin and his men. The sequel is devoted to the 1857–9 search expedition arranged by Lady Franklin and led by Leopold McClintock. A number of other works on Franklins last expedition and the subsequent searches have also been reissued in this series.
