Man Who Mapped The Arctic The Intrepid Life Of George Back, Franklin's Lieutenant

George Back went on three Arctic expeditions under Franklin, opening up the vast barren lands of the north. But unlike Franklin, Back lived to tell his tales and left behind an inspirational legacy of journals, drawings and maps. From these sources emerges a story of remarkable endurance in the face of appalling odds. Back was a brave and important explorer who has long been denied the limelight he deserved. Peter Steele does him belated justice with this fascinating account."The stuff of myth comes from a book like this." -Globe and Mail"A masterpiece of Arctic adventure ... will likely become an outstanding classic." -Yukon NewsSteele, Peter is the author of 'Man Who Mapped The Arctic The Intrepid Life Of George Back, Franklin's Lieutenant', published 2004 under ISBN 9781551927138 and ISBN 1551927136.
