Despite serious problems with sea ice, Dease and Simpson, in some of the longest small-boat voyages in the history of the Arctic, mapped the remaining gaps in a model operation of efficient, economical, and safe exploration. Thomas Simpson's narrative, the standard source on the expedition, claimed the expedition's success for himself, stating "Dease is a worthy, indolent, illiterate soul, and moves just as I give the impulse." In From Barrow to Boothia William Barr shows that Dease's contribution was absolutely crucial to the expedition's success and makes Dease's sober, sensible, and modest account of the expedition available. Dease's journal, reproduced in full, is supplemented by a brief introduction to each section and detailed annotations that clarify and elaborate the text. By including relevant correspondence to and from expedition members, Barr captures the original words of the participants, offering insights into the character of both Dease and Simpson and making clear what really happened on this successful expedition. 410 0$aRupert's Land Record Society series ;$v7. 606 $aExplorers$zArctic Coast (Canada)$vDiaries 606 $aCartographers$zArctic Coast (Canada)$vDiaries 606 $aCartography$zArctic Coast (Canada)$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aArctic Coast (Canada)$xDiscovery and exploration 607 $aCanada, Northern$xDiscovery and exploration 615 0$aExplorers 615 0$aCartographers 615 0$aCartography$xHistory 676 $a917.19/5042 700 $aDease$b Peter Warren$01545788 701 $aBarr$b William$0893119 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782079203321 996 $aFrom Barrow to Boothia$93800883 997 $aUNINA
