Specificatii
John Rae's accomplishments, surpassing all nineteenth-century
Arctic explorers, were worthy of honors and international fame. No
explorer even approached Rae's prolific record: 1, 776 miles
surveyed of uncharted territory; 6, 555 miles hiked on snowshoes;
and 6, 700 miles navigated in small boats. Yet, he was denied fair
recognition of his discoveries because he dared to utter the truth
about the fate of Sir John Franklin and his crew, Rae's
predecessors in the far north. Author Ken Mc Googan vividly
narrates the astonishing adventures of Rae, who found the last link
to the Northwest Passage and uncovered the grisly truth about the
cannibalism of Franklin and his crew. A bitter smear campaign by
Franklin's supporters would deny Rae his knighthood and bury him in
ignominy for over one hundred and fifty years. Ken Mc Googan's
passion to secure justice for a true North American hero in this
revelatory book produces a completely original and compelling
portrait that elevates Rae to his rightful place as one of
history's greatest explorers.
