Book excerpt: In 1845, British Royal Navy officer and Arctic explorer Sir John Franklin (1786–1847) embarked on his third and final expedition into the Canadian Arctic to force the Northwest Passage. After two years with no word, a £20,000 reward was offered to anyone who could find the expedition, leading to many rescue attempts. One such attempt was the De Long expedition on the “Rodgers” under Captain Berry, for which William Henry Gilder (1838-1900) was second in command between 1878 to 1880. After a disaster in which the vessel was burned on the western shore of Bering Strait, Gilder embarked on a journey of almost 2,000 miles across Siberia to relay the news of the disaster via telegram. A correspondent of the New York Herald, Gilder chronicled his death-defying experiences in “Schwatka's Search: Sledging in the Arctic in Quest of the Franklin Records”. Contents include: “Northward”, “The Winter Camp”, “Our Dogs”, “In the Sledges”, “Native Witnesses”, “The Midnight Sun”, “Relics”, “Irving's Grave”, “Arctic Costumes”, “Over Melting Snows”, “Amateur Esquimaux”, “Walrus Diet”, etc. Read & Co. History is republishing this classic memoir now in a brand new edition complete with an introductory biography by John Knox Laughton.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Schwatka's Search: Sledging in the Arctic in Quest of the Franklin Records Lieutenant Schwatka has now resolved the last doubts that could have been felt about the fate of the Franklin expedition. He has traced the one untraced ship to its grave beyond the ocean, and cleared the reputation of a harmless people from an undeserved reproach. He has given to the unburied bones of the crews probably the only safeguard against desecration by wandering wild beasts and heedless Esquimaux which that frozen land allowed. He has brought home for reverent sepulture, in a kindlier soil, the one body which bore transport. Over the rest he has set up monuments to emphasize the undying memory of their sufferings and their exploit. He has gathered tokens by which friends and relatives may identify their dead, and revisit in imagination the spots in which the ashes lie. Lastly, he has carried home with him material evidence to complete, the annals of Arctic exploration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
