"...the best life of Franklin yet produced...(a) wonderfully engaging book." Arctic Book Review Sir John Franklin was many things in his life: an officer in the great naval battles of Copenhagen and Trafalgar; governor of Van Diemen's land; an explorer from Australia to the Arctic, but it is for his mysterious death and the deaths of his 128 crew that he is remembered today. The mystery of the disappearance of the Franklin Expedition to the Northwest Passage has captivated thousands in the 174 years since his men buried Franklin in an unknown grave in the frozen land that kept calling him back. For most of that time only a handful of graves, scattered bones, fragments of debris and Inuit stories have fuelled the speculation as to what killed them all. Now, the wrecks of both of Franklin's ships have been found, preserved in the frigid waters off King William Island, and may contain answers that have been sought for generations. This is the story of the man whose name will forever be associated with the greatest tragedy in Arctic exploration history. An "...excellent overview, the reader is left with an appreciation of the enormous task early exploration of the Arctic represented...a first rate story. Highly Recommended." CM Magazine

John Franklinin komennossa oleva retkikunta purjehti matkaan 19. toukokuuta 1845 Englannista tavoitteenaan Luoteisväylän löytäminen. HMS Erebus ja HMS Terror olivat entisiä sota-aluksia, keulat oli vahvistettu teräksellä jään rikkomiseksi, lisäksi niissä oli höyrykone ja ruuvipotkuri antamassa purjehdukselle lisävoimaa. Upseerien ja miehistön lukumäärä oli 129. Ruokaa oli varattu kolmeksi vuodeksi, yhteensä 8000 tölkkiä pemmikaania, naudanlihaa ja sianlihaa, yli 3000 kiloa tupakkaa, 900 litraa viiniä, 9000 kiloa suklaata sekä 4000 litraa sitruunamehua. Viimeinen havainto Franklin-retkikunnasta saatiin valaanpyytäjiltä Baffininsaaren pohjoispuolella heinäkuussa 1845. Sen jälkeen heistä ei kuulunut enää mitään. Tämä jännitysnäytelmä kertoo niistä lukemattomista etsintäpartioista, jotka halusivat osallistua Franklinin retkikunnan kohtalon selvittämiseen.
John Franklin Jameson and the Development of Humanistic Scholarship in America

John Franklin Jameson (1859-1937) was instrumental in the development of history as an academic discipline in the United States. After the Johns Hopkins University awarded him the country's first doctorate in history, he became a founder of the American Historical Association, served as the first managing editor of the American Historical Review, and was a key figure in the creation of the National Archives, the National Historical Publications Commission, and the Dictionary of American Biography.This book, the first volume in an ambitious documentary edition of Jameson's public and private papers, contains essays representing Jameson's own scholarly concerns, followed by documents that reflect his role as an advocate for public support of historical and humanistic research. Many of these writings appear in print here for the first time.As a writer on historical subjects, Jameson is best known for his small book on the American Revolution, published late in his career. The scholarly essays contained in this volume, however, reveal pioneering work in a variety of subjects, including American political history, black history, southern constitutional and political history, and social history. In such writings Jameson showed great sensitivity to the significance of race, religion, ethnicity, and culture as historical elements. At a time when the study of American political institutions predominated among historical scholars, Jameson championed the claims of social, economic, and religious history and provided a basis for further research that historians have yet to exploit fully.The remaining documents in this volume not only demonstrate Jameson's advocacy of scholarship but also reveal him as a thoughtful commentator on the academic world at a crucial point in its development. Jameson entreated historical societies and professional scholars to decide for themselves the historical research that needed to be done and to seek support accordingly, instead of simply doing whatever work wealthy patrons were willing to subsidize. Similarly, he told colleges and universities to give scholars the freedom to engage in research without being hamstrung by the predilections of trustees. And, finally, he admonished the federal government to fulfill its responsibility to protect and publish historically significant documents."As a young scholar," notes Morey Rothberg in his introduction, "Jameson was trapped between his desire to explore the social aspects of American political history and his conservative political instincts which appeared to frustrate that ambition. Consequently, he established a career as an institution builder rather than as a writer of historical narrative. He ultimately provided the American historical profession a national structure within which the distinctive elements of race, ethnicity, class, and culture could be investigated by others, since he could not bring himself to attempt this task."The two future volumes in this project will bring together Jameson's correspondence and other documents that detail Jameson's strategies for encouraging the growth of professional scholarship. The completed project promises a wealth of rich insights into the significance of humanistic research and education in contemporary society--a tool not only for historians but also for cultural administrators, journalists, and those involved in politics and government.

After the Johns Hopkins University awarded him its first doctorate in history, he became a founder of the American Historical Review and was a key figure in the creation of the National Archives, the National Historical Publications Commission, and the Dictionary of American Biography.The first volume of Jameson's papers (Georgia, 1993) provided a representative view of his scholarly concerns and his public positions as an advocate for history through a selection of his lectures, speeches, essays, and articles. The present volume includes diary entries, published here in full for the first time, which cover virtually all of Jameson's collegiate and graduate education and his early teaching career. Also included are letters and official reports that further trace Jameson's emergence as a historian and the strategy he mapped out for promoting historical scholarship.These documents illuminate Jameson's undergraduate career at Amherst, his graduate education and teaching at Johns Hopkins, his tenure as a professor at Brown, and his direction of the history department at the University of Chicago, focusing here mainly on his efforts to establish an institutional home for history at the Carnegie Institution of Washington.The third, and final, volume will also include letters and official reports, and will begin with Jameson's appointment in 1905 as director of the Department of Historical Research at the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

Minister, educator, devoted family man, philanthropist, statesman, and intrepid traveler- John Franklin Goucher's far-reaching contributions bridged two centuries. Well known in cities, towns, and villages around the world, he was a champion of educational opportunity for all, regardless of gender, race, religion, or social class. Rooted in his deep faith, he, along with his wife, Mary Fisher Goucher, founded and supported schools at home and abroad. Ahead of his time, he emphasized access for girls and women and African Americans, which encountered traditional bias and caution; but he broke through barriers in a way that still has an impact in many parts of the world. Circling the globe three times and making countless trips across the Atlantic and the Pacific, this man of Maryland became a world-renowned figure and connected personally with schools and students, missions and missionaries, intellectuals and politicians. His influence continues to be felt by people around the world who attend or admire the institutions that are his living legacy. As one friend noted, John Goucher set a standard for international inclusion: "To him, there was no foreign land . . . He passed from one country to another without a sense of strangeness." Marilyn Southard Warshawsky's biography colorfully and comprehensively details this remarkable man's life and work. From shipwreck to camel rides, Methodist mission work in India, Korea, and China to meetings with Abraham Lincoln and Japanese leaders, Goucher's adventures are of another time, yet have continued significance today and will inspire educators everywhere far into the future.

In May 1845, the famous Arctic explorer John Franklin (1786–1847) embarked on another attempt to find the elusive North-West Passage. He never returned from this voyage, and was last seen by whalers in Baffin Bay in July 1845. Some thirty rescue missions were launched between 1847 and 1859 to find the missing men. Franklin was not the first explorer to make the dangerous voyage to find the route connecting the Atlantic and Pacific, and journalist Peter Lund Simmonds (1814–97) draws from a wide range of reports and publications about these expeditions in his history of the search for the North-West Passage, published in 1851. The detailed account also includes descriptions of the many missions to find Franklin, and this second edition was published later in the same year as the first in order to include updated reports on the progress of his rescue.
Sir John Ross (1777–1856), the distinguished British naval officer and Arctic explorer, undertook three great voyages to the Arctic regions; accounts of his first and his second voyages are also reissued in this series. (During the latter, his ship was stranded in the unexplored area of Prince Regent Inlet, where Ross and his crew survived by living and eating as the local Inuit did.) In this volume, first published in 1855, the explorer describes his experiences during his third (privately funded) Arctic voyage, undertaken in 1850 as part of the effort to locate the missing expedition led by Sir John Franklin, his close friend. Ross also summarises in partisan style the previous efforts by the Royal Navy to find out what happened to the Erebus and Terror, and is scathing in his account of what he regards as the mismanagement and incompetence of the Admiralty.
