📘 Kane (1820-57) was an American explorer and a medical officer in the US Navy who was a member of two Arctic expeditions to rescue the explorer Sir John Franklin. This work, first published in 1879, is a condensed version of Kane's two-volume account of the second expedition, which he commanded, 'Arctic Explorations' (1856) which was based on his own journals.
