Résumé
In 1854, John Rae, a Scottish immigrant to Canada, led a small expedition across the Boothia Peninsula to map the missing link in the Northwest Passage. This accomplishment, along with his other geographical contributions, should have earned him glory. Instead,… Rae faded from the record. In this book, the author aims to restore Rae's name to the historical record as one of the heroes of Arctic exploration. 2001.
