Sommario/riassunto: May We Be Spared to Meet on Earth collects the private correspondence of the officers and sailors who set out in May 1845 on the Erebus and Terror for Sir John Franklin's fateful Arctic expedition, providing new insights into the personalities of those on board, the voyage's significance, and the dawning realization that they might never return.
