Synopsis "The Cruise of the Corwin: Journal of the Arctic Expedition of 1881 in Search of de Long and the Jeannette (The Literary Naturalist Series) "

"John Muir was certainly as concerned for the potential loss of marvelous arctic cultures as he was for our continent's vanishing wilderness. In this sense, THE CRUISE OF THE CORWIN truly deserves our attention, especially in light of all that is happening in the Arctic today." -Richard Fleck John Muir agreed in 1881 to sail aboard the Corwin, whose fruitless mission it was to search for the missing scientific research vessel Jeannette, which itself became icebound while exploring the distant and mysterious Wrangell Land in the higher latitudes of the Arctic. This cruise would afford Muir the opportunity to examine evidence of glaciation along the arctic coastlines of Siberia and Alaska and the harmonious lifestyle of Inuits and Chukchis, which was in the midst of disruption from the intrusions of the South.
