notes:
|
Franklin reached what he considered the northern end of the Rocky Mountains in early August 1826. He named the most western mountain for Dr. Copleston, Provost of Oriel College and then Bishop of Landaff.Franklin's first overland expedition went from the western shore of Hudson Bay to the Arctic Ocean between 1819 and 1822. This book describes his second overland expedition from the mouth of the Mackenzie River in northwest Canada to Point Beechey in present-day Alaska. A second part of the expedition travelled from the Mackenzie to the Coppermine River.Image placed horizontally on page.
