FATAL PASSAGE (JOHN RAE)

This true story of the remarkable John Rae - Scottish Arctic explorer and Hudson's Bay Company doctor - is a tale of imperial ambition and high adventure. Rae solved the first two great Arctic mysteries: the fate of the doomed Franklin expedition and the location of the last navigable link in the Northwest Passage, and yet he was denied the fame he highly deserved. This richly documented, illustrated work is a passionate redemption of his rightful place in history.
