Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Narrative of the Second Arctic Expedition: Made by Charles F. Hall: His Voyage to Repulse, Slegde Journeys to the Straits of Fury and Hecla and to the King Williams Land, and Residence Among the Eskimos During the Years 1864-´69 Admiral: I have the honor to submit herewith the Narrative of the residence of the late Capt. C. F. Hall among the Eskimos, which has been prepared for the Senate, by the orders of the Department, under your superintendence and advice. The Manuscripts of Captain Hall´s explorations, purchased by Congress, have been found to present a mass of writing in the form of journals, note-books, and even scattered leaves, exhibiting a large amount of close observation, the results of which the lamented explorer more than once expressed his desire to arrange with his own hand and publish. In preparing the Narrative the aim has been to exercise a close discrimination in the selection of the material which seemed the most valuable chiefly in its geographical and ethnological bearings. The astronomical and meteorological observations, reduced from Hall´s journal entries, are given in Appendixes I and II. Mr. R. W. D. Bryan, late of the Polaris Expedition, assisting in the preparation of the Narrative, under the orders of the Department, has rendered very valuable services in arranging and condensing the material found in the journals and in superintending the astronomical and meteorological reductions.
