1.The TerrorThe Terror
from audible.com
Price: $15.74

Customer Review:
No long, rambling review here. All I have to say is that it's been over two years since I read this one, and nothing quite compares. It stands alone as one of the most uniquely haunting and amazingly written stories I've ever read. By all means, read it.

2.Fatal Passage: The True Story of John Rae, the Arctic Hero Time ForgotFatal Passage: The True Story of John Rae, the Arctic Hero Time Forgot
from Basic Books

Customer Review:
After finishing Fatal Passage, I felt perhaps a twinge of the same frustration that John Rae must have felt in his last years. Rae had the misfortune of delivering the disturbing accounts of cannibalism among the members of the Franklin Expedition. The report was so disturbing, especially to the... more info

3.Ice Blink: The Tragic Fate of Sir John Franklin s Lost Polar ExpeditionIce Blink: The Tragic Fate of Sir John Franklin's Lost Polar Expedition
from Topeka Bindery
Price: $13.44

Customer Review:
The one certainty about Sir John Franklin's futile 1845 expedition in quest of a passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific through the Artic is that all 129 who signed up for the voyage vanished and were ultimately proved to be dead.
But what caused this unprecedented catastrophe? Cookman has... more info

from Penguin (Non-Classics)

Customer Review:
This hefty door-stopper details the first century of Arctic exploration, from the intrepid but failed first expedition of British Navy commander Sir John Ross to the flawed triumph of America's Robert Peary, whose expedition to the North Pole made him an international hero -- though it was revealed... more info

5.[no image]La Salle and the discovery of the great West
from Little, Brown, & co

Customer Review:
This is the third book of Parkman's that I've read. Previously, I read Pioneers of France in the New World and The Jesuits in North America. About all three I would say a) they are absolutely amazing works of brilliant, inspired scholarship, b) Parkman's measured, objective, caring approach to the... more info

6.Epic Wanderer: David Thompson and the Mapping of the Canadian WestEpic Wanderer: David Thompson and the Mapping of the Canadian West
from University of Nebraska Press

Customer Review:
There are two good primary accounts of the travels and explorations of David Thompson (in addition to other collateral books), this by Jenish and Sources of the River by Jack Nesbit. Both seem to do an excellent job of drawing the reader into the life and times of Thompson, as well as into the... more info

7.Strangers in Blood: Fur Trade Company Families in Indian CountryStrangers in Blood: Fur Trade Company Families in Indian Country
from University of Oklahoma Press
Price: $15.96

Customer Review:
This book has a high "fog factor" and is difficult to read. It uses academic jargon and long sentences. The structure is complex and confusing. That is not to say that the book is inconsequential; indeed, the subject matter is quite important. It is simply difficult to access it through this... more info

from Yale University Press
Price: $40.00

Customer Review:
This book investigates a number of 18th-century voyages of discovery for a Northwest Passage from the Atlantic Ocean to the East Indies, a passage that took root in the imaginations of cartographers and explorers (and their sponsors) and would not die. Three voyages of discovery into Hudson Bay are... more info
