''A Narrative of Arctic Discovery: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time'' is a historical account of the exploration and discovery of the Arctic region, written by John Joseph Shillinglaw and originally published in 1850. The book covers the earliest known expeditions to the Arctic, including those led by Norse explorers, and continues through to the mid-19th century, when the search for the Northwest Passage was still ongoing. Shillinglaw’s narrative includes detailed descriptions of the different expeditions, the challenges they faced, and the discoveries they made. He also provides insights into the motivations behind these expeditions, such as the search for new trade routes and the desire to claim new territories for European powers. The book is divided into chapters that focus on specific expeditions and explorers, including John Cabot, Francis Drake, and James Cook. Shillinglaw also discusses the role of indigenous peoples in Arctic exploration and the impact of European contact on their communities. Overall, ''A Narrative of Arctic Discovery'' provides a comprehensive and engaging account of the history of Arctic exploration, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the region or the history of exploration in general.With The Details Of The Measures Adopted By Her Majesty�������s Government For The Relief Of The Expedition Under Sir John Franklin.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
