Narrative of the North Polar Expedition: U.S. Ship Polaris, Captain Charles Francis Hall Commanding is a historical account of the 1871 expedition to the Arctic led by Captain Hall. The book is written by G.M. Robeson, a member of the expedition who served as the Secretary of the Navy at the time. The narrative covers the journey of the Polaris from its departure in New York to its arrival in Greenland, where the ship became trapped in ice. The crew was forced to abandon the ship and set up camp on an ice floe, where they spent several months enduring harsh conditions and facing various challenges. The book details the struggles the crew faced, including the death of Captain Hall and the subsequent leadership struggles. The narrative also includes descriptions of the Arctic landscape and wildlife, as well as the interactions between the crew and the local Inuit population. Overall, Narrative of the North Polar Expedition provides a detailed and fascinating account of a historic Arctic expedition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
