ARCTIC JOURNALS OF JOHN RAE (TOUCHWOOD) (PB)

John Rae (1813-1893) was a Scottish doctor, explorer, and surveyor for the Hudson's Bay Company. Upon his return to England, he was shunned by the British establishment for suggesting that the crew of the lost Franklin Expedition may have resorted to cannibalism. The Arctic Journals of John Rae is the definitive collection of John Rae's writings, from his only published work, ‘Narrative of an Expedition to the Shores of the Arctic Sea in 1846 and 1847’, to obscure notes and journals and reports of his controversial findings in 1854.
