Arctic Biblio 10530 Hill 1055 Howgego II L52. George Francis Lyon 1795-1832 was a British naval officer and explorer of the Arctic and Africa. He served in the Mediterranean during the Napoleon wars and later assigned to an expedition in North Africa with Joseph Ritchie to explore the Niger river area. He was selected by William Edward Parry to command the Hecla in 1821-1823 for an expedition to the Northern coast of Hudson Bay to find the Northwest Passage. He wrote about this journey in "The Private Journal of Captain G. F. Lyon". He was one of the "Barrow Boys" Captains that were favored by Sir John Barrow 1764-1848 Secretary to the Admialty to command Arctic exploration.From Howgego II " In 1824 the Admiralty sent Lyon back to the Arctic in command of the Griper . to penetrate the Hecla and Fury Strait to the north of the Melville Peninsula and to attempt to proceed along the continental coast to connect with the navigable sea reported by John Franklin to the east of the Coppermine River." This was only one of the four expeditions sent to the Arctic in the same year to search of the Northwest Passage. A major effort that failed to find the ice free passage but gained significant experience and information on the Arctic. During the voyage Lyon experienced heavy ice and foul weather that caused damage to the ship and forced him to retreat. John Barrow was upset that Lyon did not achieve his mission to connect with Franklin and was never offered another command by the Admiralty again. This book is Lyon's account of the 1824 voyage and reasons why the voyage was not successful.William Edward Parry Hooper 1829-1926 appears to have been named after the famous Arctic explorer and became a clerk in the Admiralty. The bookplate motto of "in memoria retinere" means to "keep in mind"Steve Fossett 1944-2007 was a successful commodities trader and an adventurer that set world records in balloons sailboats gliders and unique powered aircraft. In the 1980's Fossett began developing a library collection of over 2000 books on adventure and exploration. His collection included significant and authoritative accounts of aeronautics polar Asia Australasia circumnavigation's mountaineering and others. In 2007 Fossett disappeared on a solo flight in a light aircraft over the eastern Sierra Mountains along the California and Nevada border. After an extensive search the wreckage was found by hikers a year later along the rugged Mt. Ritter range in the Ansel Adams Wilderness in Madera County about 10 miles east of Yosemite National Park.

London: John Murray 1825. First edition. Narrative of search for the Northwest Passage through the Hudson Bay; observations on Southampton Island Eskimos tides and compass variations. George Francis Lyon one of Barrow's favorites had made a name for himself in the exploration of Africa before serving as commander of the HMS Hecla during William Edward Parry's second Arctic voyage. Thereafter in the spring of 1824 Lyon was given command of the sluggish and cranky HMS Griper with orders to winter in Repulse Bay in northwest Hudson Bay and then cross Melville Peninsula to explore the northern coast of mainland America. Ice conditions were difficult however and he was unable to even reach Repulse Bay and had to return home that same Fall. He was never given another naval command. . 21 cm; xvi 198 2 pages and 7 leaves of copper-engraved plates folding map. Bound in contemporary green polished calf over marbled boards ruled in gilt by Henry Young. Gilt tooling on spine. Color faded from spine and from top edge of upper board. Fine condition.

LYON George Francis.
A Narrative of Travels in Northern Africa In the Years 1818 19 and 20;
London: John Murray 1821. An excellent copy in the original boards Quarto. Original dark green cloth-backed grey boards modern facsimile label to spine. Housed in a light brown quarter morocco solander box. 17 hand-coloured lithographs mainly of costumes by Hullmandel after Lyon all bound at the end and a partially coloured engraved folding map. Several unopened folds. Spine ends somewhat bumped label slightly tanned boards a little soiled and worn very light foxing throughout short closed tear to inner margin of map. An excellent copy. First edition of this account of the British North Africa expedition led by Joseph Ritchie that sought to reach the Niger from the north. 'During the closing years of the eighteenth century and the first decade of the nineteenth several British expeditions had been sent into the interior of North Africa for the sole purpose of delineating the course of the Niger' Howgego. Lyon 1795-1832 was a British naval officer serving in the Mediterranean who while stationed at Malta volunteered to join Ritchie on his scientific mission. The officer originally commissioned Frederick Marryat was unable to do so. The expedition left Tripoli in April 1819 but was greatly delayed at Murzuk the capital of Fezzan as Ritchie and Lyon were both taken ill. While Lyon recovered Ritchie died in late November 1818 succumbing to dysentery. Lyon took over command of the expedition and continued eastwards to Zuila before returning to Tripoli in March 1820. From here he sailed for England arriving in London in July 1820. While the mission was abandoned it was not a complete failure as Lyon brought with him 'intelligence gathered from merchants that the Niger "runs into a lake called Tsaad". He also brought back the first reports of the fate of Hornemann'. Once back in England Lyon wrote this account of his and Ritchie's journey with interesting descriptions of the local customs and social life medical remedies and natural history of the region. Abbey Travel 304; Blackmer 1044; Gay 2780; Hilmy I 397; Howgego II L52. London: John Murray, hardcover
