pp. xxxiv [ 3] 307, b/w illustrations and photographs. “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.”
