Cruise of the Revenue Steamer Corwin in Alaska and the N. W. Arctic Ocean in 1881 ...: Notes and Memoranda

In "The Cruise of the Corwin," John Muir embarks on a mission in 1881 to search for the lost vessel Jeannette, exploring the Arctic's glaciation and the impact of civilization on Inuit and Chukchi cultures. Muir's concern for both the wilderness and indigenous cultures makes this work particularly relevant today.
