Excerpt from An Arctic Boat Journey in the Autumn The readers of the narrative of Dr. Kane will remember that, in the autumn of 1854, eight persons, being a portion of the officers and crew of the brig Advance, then in Rensselaer Harbor, made an attempt to reach Upernavik, in North Greenland, the nearest outpost of civilization. The party were absent during nearly four months, and they returned to the brig unsuccessful. It was the wish of Dr. Kane to receive from me a written report of the journey; but as I was disabled at the time of my return, he accepted one from my dictation; and, under the impression that he was thus possessed of all that he required, I gave no further attention to the subject.

Excerpt from An Arctic Boat Journey in the Autumn After the publication of the main narrative of the expedition, my own memoranda appeared too insig nificant to justify the issue of a separate volume. My friends and other persons represented to me, from time to time, that even minute details of life in a region so remote, so peculiar, and so little linown as that in which I had passed nearly a third of a year, would not fail to interest the general reader; but it needed a stronger inducement than such persuasions to overcome my reluctance to issue a book.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1860 edition. Excerpt: ... AN AKCTIC BOAT JOURNEY. CHAPTER I. INTRODUCTORY. It is well known that the Advance, a brigantine of one hundred and forty-four tons, under command of Dr. E. K. Kane of the United States Navy, sailed from New York, May 30th 1853, on her second cruise to the arctic seas, in search of Sir John Franklin. My connection with the expedition dates from the day prior to that of sailing. Five months before, while yet a student of medicine, I had volunteered to join the party. The offer could not be accepted at that time; and it was not until the 18th of May that I received notice that there was a probability of its acceptance. It was not until the afternoon of the 29th that I obtained my appointment. In a few hours I had purchased and sent aboard my outfit. Next morning the Advance was headed for Greenland. The historian of the expedition has left nothing new for me to communicate concerning the more important events of the cruise; and I will detain the reader over this introductory chapter, only long enough to recall such facts as are needed to connect the narrative of Dr. Kane with the events which it is the purpose of this book to record. In consequence of the prevalence of head-winds and calms, the coast of Greenland was not reached until the first of July; but, the season being unusually forward, we made up for lost time by a quick passage through that gauntlet of the Baffin Bay whale fishers, the "middle ice," and were at the seat of our future operations, Smith Strait, by the 7th of August. Having deposited in a cairn on Lyttleton Island, near the mouth of the strait, a record of our proceedings thus far; and having placed on the main land, about two miles farther to the north and east, our Francis' metallic life-boat, together with a...

From avalanches to glaciers, from seals to snowflakes, and from Shackleton's expedition to The Year Without Summer, Bill Streever journeys through history, myth, geography, and ecology in a year-long search for cold -- real, icy, 40-below cold. In July he finds it while taking a dip in a 35-degree Arctic swimming hole; in September while excavating our planet's ancient and not so ancient ice ages; and in October while exploring hibernation habits in animals, from humans to wood frogs to bears. A scientist whose passion for cold runs red hot, Streever is a wondrous guide: he conjures woolly mammoth carcasses and the ice-age Clovis tribe from melting glaciers, and he evokes blizzards so wild readers may freeze -- limb by vicarious limb.
