Description
1858 Arctic Exploration 1ed Elisha Kane Biography Franklin Expedition Wm Elder

The discoveries found on this voyage include the Humboldt Glacier, Kennedy Channel, the Kane Basin, and reaching the farthest north of any exploration at the time.
Author William Elder published a biography on the life of Kane, a work which focuses heavily on Kane and his Grinnell Expedition – a voyage set out to find the lost John Franklin.
