De Bray's diaries of his years with Resolute have not been published before, in any language, and only one other account of this particular Franklin search expedition exists.Enseigne-de-vaisseau de Bray, seconded at his own request from the French navy, was something of a rarity among those who made up the search parties: he was not British. (One of his shipmates hopes for the best: 'The Frenchman does not seem an Englishman,' he observed, 'but I suppose he will improve on acquaintance.')Cape de Bray on the northwest coast of Melville Island commemorates the efforts of this intrepid French officer, who gained the respect of his fellows, was made an officer of the Legion d'Honneur by Napolean III, and was awarded the Arctic Medal by Queen Victoria.William Barr provides an introduction, postscript, and extensive notes, placing de Bray and the expedition in context. This volume tells us much about the life the Europeans led in the unexplored and frozen northern waters. 606 $aHISTORY / Polar Regions$2bisacsh 607 $aArctic regions$xDiscovery and exploration 607 $aNorthwest Passage 608 $aElectronic books. 615 7$aHISTORY / Polar Regions. 676 $a917.195041 700 $aBray$b Emile Fre?de?ric de$f1829-1879,$0890542 702 $aBarr$b William$f1940- 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910459725803321 996 $aA Frenchman in search of Franklin$91989281 997 $aUNINA
