Robertson Heather
Measuring Mother Earth How Joe the Kid became Tyrrell of the North
Toronto: McClelland & Stewart. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2007. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0771075391 . Only light wear traces of previous owner's stamp on front pastedown. ; A bright solid book DJ in protective Mylar sleeve unclipped. ; B&W Illustrations; 1.3 x 9.1 x 6.1 Inches; 360 pages; A vivid entertaining portrait of the great Canadian explorer Joseph Burr Tyrrell the man who single-handedly invented the notion of the �Romance of the North�. In the 19th century exploring the Earth was as exciting and awe-inspiring an activity as space exploration was in the 20th century. And even as late as the 1880s vast expanses of Canada remained largely untrodden by Europeans. So joining the Geological Survey in 1882 was the realization of a dream for the short-sighted profoundly deaf and egotistical young Joseph Burr Tyrrell. A romantic inspired as much by Robert Louis Stevenson�s adventure novels and by Wild Bill Hickock�s exploits as by the spirited debates about evolution that informed his work Tyrrell chafed under the strictures of the survey. By the time of the Klondike gold rush in 1898 he was a bitter man resentful that the survey under George Dawson had repeatedly refused to promote him or give him any plum jobs. He quit and took up prospecting instead which brought him nothing but misery in the Yukon but handed him a fortune when gold was discovered in Kirkland Lake Ontario. His own best fan Tyrrell did finally achieve the celebrity he ached for. Decked out in a sealskin parka and moccasins while he burnished stories of his achievements Tyrrell became the prototype of the romantic hero-explorer later personified by Robert Scott of the Antarctic. He retired a multi-millionaire and died at the age of ninety-eight just six weeks before the 1957 space launch of Sputnik the first satellite to orbit the Earth. . McClelland & Stewart hardcover

"By the autumn of 1769" according to the ODNB Robertson "began withdrawing books on America from the Edinburgh university library. As originally conceived his project was to include the history of Spanish Portuguese and British colonization though Robertson chose first to concentrate on the Spanish which stemmed most naturally from his study of Charles V. His original intention was to complete the full history of colonization before going to press but he decided to publish the sixteenth-century Spanish portion alone following the outbreak of hostilities with the British colonies in 1776 . . . On 28 May 1777 the History of America was published in two volumes by Strahan and Cadell in London and by Balfour in Edinburgh to a very positive reception. Its success was even more marked on the continent where it was considered Robertson's masterpiece . . . With its dramatic sweep of narrative combined with a provocative confrontation of two very different stages of civilization Spanish and Native American and a prose that was more flexible and evocative than that of his earlier books the History of America is often regarded as Robertson's most interesting original and even Romantic work." Borba de Moraes credits Roberston writing the "first history of the discovery and Spanish conquest of America based on ample bibliographical information and documents . . . " N. B.

ROBESON GEO. M. + C. F. HALL. THE POLARIS EXPEDITION WITH DEDICATION FROM COMMANDER C. F. HALL GIVEN DURING THE EXPEDITION
Instructions for the Expedition Toward the North Pole from Hon. Geo. M. Robeson Secretary of the Navy. With an Appendix from the National Academy of Sciences.
Washington Government Printing Office 1871. 8vo. In contemporary half cloth with the original front wrapper pasted on to front board. With dedication inscription from C. F. Hall to front board: "To M. Schonheyder / Govenor of Fiskeneest / July : 27:1871 / C. F. Hall / Commander" and with Hall signature to title-page: "C. F. Hall / Commander". Two stamps to front board and one stamp to title-page. Three holes in inner marigin presumably from the original sown wrappers. Title-page with a 5 cm long tear to inner margin. 36 pp. � First edition presentation copy from C. F. Hall to Guvernor Sch�nheyder given during the Polaris Expedition of the instruction to Charles Francis Hall to command an expedition to the North Pole on the USS Polaris. The present copy was aboard the USS Polaris and was given on July 27th 1871 when the USS Polaris arrived at Fisken�sset in South East Greenland. <br>The PolarIs Expedition which constitutes one of the first serious American attempts to reach the North Pole ended in failure with the death very possibly murder of Hall. 19 members of the expedition became separated from the ship and drifted on an ice floe for six months and 1800 miles 2900 km before being rescued. The damaged Polaris was run aground and wrecked near Etah in October 1872. The remaining men were able to survive the winter and were rescued the following summer. All crewmembers except C. F. Hall survived. <br><br>The Chief Scientist on the expedition Emil Bessel presumably the person who poisoned Hall noted when arriving at Fisken�sset: "A boat rowed toward us from the headland and a few moments later the colony's administrator Sch�nheyder stood on deck en route to the saloon. After we had exchanged the usual civilities Where the present copy very well can have been presented as a gift Hall and I accompanied the obliging official ashore and to his home. Although he was badly asthmatic the Greenland climate seemed to suit him; when he lay stretched out he was of impressive height and hence very good-natured. But he had not been very fortunate in the choice of his name which did not match his appearance at all well. Herr Sch�nheyter did not have a loving wife to sweeten his life but mindful of the well-devised saying he was not ill-disposed toward the other accessories. Draped in a blue ribbon a guitar hung on the wall; on a small side-table stood various bottles filled with strong liquor." POLARIS: The Chief Scientist's Recollections of the American North Pole Expedition 1871-73 by Emil Bessels P. 56<br><br>Charles Francis Hall who had previously lived among the Inuit in the Arctic region while on his obsessive quest to determine the fate of Franklin's lost expedition of 1845 was appointed Commander of the Expedition. Hall who had the necessary survival skills lacked academic background and had no experience in leading men or commanding a ship. <br>The Polaris Expedition consisting 25 men also included Hall's old friend Budington as sailing master George Tyson as navigator and Emil Bessels as physician and chief of scientific staff. The expedition immediately ran into problems as the party split into rival factions. Hall's authority over the expedition was resented by a large portion of the party and discipline broke down.<br><br>Hall having left the USS Polaris on October 10 returned on October 24 suddenly fell ill after drinking a cup of coffee. His symptoms allegedly started with an upset stomach then progressed to vomiting and delirium the following day. Hall accused several of the ship's company including Bessels of having poisoned him. Following these accusations he refused medical treatment from Bessels and drank only liquids delivered directly by his friend Taqulittuq.<br>He seemed to improve for a few days and was even able to go up on deck. Bessels had prevailed upon Bryan the ship's chaplain to convince Hall to allow the doctor to see him. By November 4 Hall relented and Bessels resumed treatment. Shortly thereafter Hall's condition began to deteriorate; he suffered vomiting and delirium and collapsed. Bessels diagnosed apoplexy before Hall finally died on November 8. He was taken ashore and given a formal burial.<br>In 1968 while working on Hall's biography "Weird and Tragic Shores" Chauncey C. Loomis became sufficiently intrigued by the possibility that Hall might have been poisoned and applied for a permit to visit Thank God Harbor to exhume Hall's body and to perform an autopsy. Because of the permafrost Hall's body flag shroud clothing and coffin were remarkably well-preserved. Tests on tissue samples of bone fingernails and hair showed that Hall had received large doses of arsenic in the last two weeks of his life. <br><br>Sabin 72024 hardcover
