John Rae is best known today as the first European to reveal the fate of the Franklin Expedition, yet the range of Rae''s accomplishments is much greater. Over five expeditions, Rae mapped some 1,550 miles (2,494 kilometres) of Arctic coastline; he is undoubtedly one of the Arctic''s greatest explorers, yet today his significance is all but lost. John Rae, Arctic Explorer is an annotated version of Rae''s unfinished autobiography. William Barr has extended Rae''s previously unpublished manuscript and completed his story based on Rae''s reports and correspondence--including reaction to his revelations about the Franklin Expedition. Barr''s meticulously researched, long overdue presentation of Rae''s life and legacy is an immensely valuable addition to the literature of Arctic exploration.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the northern coastline of North America was of particular interest to the Hudson's Bay Company as it was believed to hold the key to the elusive North-West Passage, a trade route from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Recruited to lead a team to survey part of this forbidding region, the Scottish explorer John Rae (1813-93) undertook his first expedition during 1846-7. It was remarkable not only for its success, but also because Rae's was the first crew to overwinter in the Arctic. Unlike other Victorian explorers, Rae embraced the culture of the Inuit and learnt to live off the land like them, which enabled him to complete his survey. First published in 1850, this journal relates the details of his journey as well as how he and his men survived the extreme conditions. It remains a valuable document in the history of Arctic exploration.
