Schwatka's Search: Sledging In The Arctic In Quest Of The Franklin Records is a non-fiction book written by William H. Gilder. The book is a first-hand account of the expedition led by Lieutenant Frederick Schwatka in 1878 to search for the lost records of Sir John Franklin's ill-fated expedition to the Arctic in 1845. The book chronicles the harsh conditions and challenges faced by the expedition team as they journeyed through the Arctic wilderness on sledges, braving freezing temperatures, blizzards, and treacherous ice. The author provides vivid descriptions of the Arctic landscape, the wildlife, and the Inuit people encountered by the expedition. The book also includes illustrations and maps to help readers visualize the journey. Schwatka's Search: Sledging In The Arctic In Quest Of The Franklin Records is a fascinating account of a historic Arctic expedition and a must-read for anyone interested in Arctic exploration, history, or adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
