“The most remarkable book ever produced upon the subject 
of Arctic explorations ."—JOURNAL OF COMMERCE. 
Three Years of Arctic Service. 
AN ACCOUNT OF THE 
LADY FRANKLIN BAY EXPEDITION OF 1881-84, 
AND THE ATTAINMENT OF THE 
FARTHEST NORTH. 
The first full and authorized account of the most important and 
successful Arctic Exploration ever made. 
MAGNIFICENTLY ILLUSTRATED 
WITH 
OVER ISO ENGRAVINGS, MAPS, AND CHARTS. 
By Lieutenant A. W. GREELY, U.S.A., 
Commanding the Expedition. 
This book contains Lieutenant Greely’s story of an expedition which reached the most northerly 
point ever attained ; and of an experience that stands alone in Arctic annals. Apart from the narrative 
of extraordinary suffering and final rescue which appears here, the fact that no one else ever passed 
the same length of time so far within the Arctic circle gives to the account the value and interest of 
observations absolutely new. Lieutenant Greely’s training, attainments, and above all the long study 
of Arctic matters and the Polar question which first led him to seek this service, all qualified him to 
make and to record these observations; and his book will be found to give his experience with a simple 
directness that makes the story the more absorbing, and with no detention of the reader over useless 
comment.

Now that the story of the relief of Greely and his party is fully told, it turns out to be one of the 
most stirring and absorbing chapters in Arctic annals. The two disastrous attempts made in previous 
years, to the disappointment of the whole people, were enough to show that the rescue was^ not a 
matter of simply sailing up to Cape Sabine and back; there was some reason besides “luck why 
two expeditions ended in disaster, and why the Navy finally accomplished what had been twice tried 
by °^ s ;. implicity and modesty 0 f Captain Schley’s and Mr. Soley’s narrative do not hide from any 
reader what this reason really was.
