Book Description
Excerpt from The Voyage of the Jeannette, Vol. 1 of 2: The Ship and Ice Journals of George W. De Long, Lieutenant-Commander U. S. N., And Commander of the Polar Expedition of 1879-1881 IN the preparation of this volume the editor has availed herself first, of the private papers of Lieutenant Commander De Long, and her own recollection and notes; and secondly, of the testimony given in public and private by the survivors of the Jeannette. It seemed right, in a work which is essentially a tribute to human worth, to introduce the narrative with a brief biographical sketch of the commander of the ex pedition up to the inception of the undertaking, with special reference to the qualities of character and edu cation of circumstances which led directly to his pro posal of an Arctic expedition. The preparations for the voyage continue this personal sketch, as well as put the reader in possession of all necessary facts re lating to the plans of the projectors and the measures taken to ensure success. So much was requisite as an introduction to the nar rative itself. For that recourse was had to the letters written by lieutenant-commander De Long after leav ing San Francisco, and before dismissing the consort which accompanied the Jeannette to St. Lawrence Bay; to the private journal which he kept from the begin ning of the voyage to the sinking of the ship, and to the two small journals in which he recorded the for tunes of the expedition after the ship was abandoned. In preparing the closing chapters of the work, the testimonies given by the survivors have been carefully compared and made the basis for a consecutive narra tive which should complete the history of the expe dition. The illustrations have been studied 'with great care. The smaller ones in the text have been reproduced from diagrams and sketches made in the journals, by Mr. Newcomb, the naturalist of the party, and by Cap tain Gronbeck of the Lma; the larger ones have been from the hand of Mr. M. J. Burns, whose experience in the Arctic had given him special facility for making truthful renderings, and his work has been carefully examined and approved by officers of the expedition.

Book Description
The USS Jeannette left San Francisco in July of 1879 bound on a voyage of exploration to find a route to the North Pole via the Bering Strait. George W De Long had previously shown himself to be the stuff that exploration commanders were made of when, in 1873, he led a small party in the Little Juniata - a steam launch from the USS Juniata - on a search to Cape York for the US Steamer Polaris. His exploits on that trip are described in this book which consists of his journals edited by his wife, Emma. The Jeannette ended up being crushed and sunk by the arctic ice and De Long and his crew had to abandon ship into three small boats. Of these only one took its crew to safety whilst De Long and others perished slowly with his faithfully completed journal being updated to the last. The commander of one of the other vessels, Chief Engineer Melville, eventually found the remains of De Long and his party after a protracted search. This two volume set provides a poignant and well illustrated account of the man, his missions and the whole saga of arctic exploration at this time. As the book concludes; 'sacrifice is nobler than ease, unselfish life is consummated by lonely death, and the world is richer by this gift of suffering.'
