Gardiner supplemented my remarks on North Carolina to-day by a very interesting account of plantation life in that State. Our police work is now done in rotation, one man each day being required to remove the slops, keep open the water-hole, and bring the water for the cooks. The exemptions from this duty, which requires from twenty to thirty minutes' work once a fortnight, are as follows: Myself, Dr. Pavy, Brainard, who has his hands full issuing rations; the cooks, Biederbick, who is steward; Henry, whose toe is frost-bitten; and Israel, who, though well, is physically very weak; Gardiner's sore hand also excuses him; and Cross, in accordance with the doctor's advice, has been directed to saw the wood for the party, which is done within doors, and thus prevents him from exposure to cold, to which he is very sensitive." " December 18th.--My remarks to-day were on Florida; delightful by contrast, if for no other reason." Brainard's diary says at this date: " One phase of our life on a starvation diet is the unanimity with which every body reproaches himself for not having eaten more when he had an opportunity. No person appears to have ever disliked any dish of which he has partaken." " December 19th.--A heavy storm to-day. Had a great deal of trouble in opening the water-hole; and, in default of volunteers, I assisted the regular water-carrier myself. The chisel was lost from the stick, but I managed to find it; and Brainard, coming to the rescue, struck water later. I am so weak that my work amounted to nothing except its stimulating and encouraging effects." Lieutenant Lockwood says: " We are all very weak, and I feel an apathy and cloudiness impossible to shake off. It is a great difficulty to know each night just how much hard...

This book was released on 2021-05-11 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Science in the Arctic changed dramatically over the course of the nineteenth century, when early, scattered attempts in the region to gather knowledge about all aspects of the natural world transitioned to a more unified Arctic science under the First International Polar Year in 1882. The IPY brought together researchers from multiple countries with the aim of undertaking systematic and coordinated experiments and observations in the Arctic and Antarctic. Harsh conditions, intense isolation, and acute danger inevitably impacted the making and communicating of scientific knowledge. At the same time, changes in ideas about what it meant to be an authoritative observer of natural phenomena were linked to tensions in imperial ambitions, national identities, and international collaborations of the IPY. Through a focused study of travel narratives in the British, Danish, Canadian, and American contexts, Nanna Katrine Lüders Kaalund uncovers not only the transnational nature of Arctic exploration, but also how the publication and reception of literature about it shaped an extreme environment, its explorers, and their scientific practices. She reveals how, far beyond the metropole—in the vast area we understand today as the North American and Greenlandic Arctic—explorations and the narratives that followed ultimately influenced the production of field science in the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the nineteenth century, an epic race was underway in some of the most brutal stretches on the planet. Explorers from around the world hoped to stake their claim on the Arctic, with the North Pole being the ultimate prize. Those with the greatest success found that the fastest way to travel was on four legs—using a team of hardworking sledge dogs. Harnessed to the Pole follows the adventures of eight American explorers and their dog teams, starting with Elisha Kent Kane and ending with Robert Peary, controversial claimant of the title of first to reach the North Pole. While history has long forgotten these “little camels of the north,” Sheila Nickerson reveals how critical dogs were to the Arctic conquest. Besides providing transportation in extreme conditions, sledge dogs protected against wolves and polar bears, helped in hunting, found their way through storms, and provided warmth in extreme cold. They also faced rough handling, starvation, and the possibility of being left behind as expeditions plunged ahead. Harnessed to the Pole is an extraordinary—and unflinching—look at the dogs that raced to the top of the world.
