Years before his lost final voyage, Lieutenant John Franklin led a small party overland from Hudson Bay to chart the Arctic coast of North America. His journal covers the canoe routes, the wintering posts of Cumberland House, Fort Chipewyan and Fort Enterprise, the reindeer and the people of the country, and the starvation that later overtook the expedition.
