Maclaren Edits And Comments On Two Other Documents Written By Back During The Expedition: A Candid Letter To His Brother And A Poem Dramatizing The Disaster That Claimed The Lives Of Eleven Of The Twenty Explorers In Franklin's Party. Arctic Artist Will Be Of Interest To Franklin And Arctic Enthusiasts, And To Canadian Studies, Northern Studies, Art History, And Anthropology Specialists.
