notes:
The dogsleds were used to carry fish from nets back to the fort. Wolves sometimes stole the fish, and in February 1826, the food supply of the fort nearly ran out due to lack of game and fish.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.
