notes:
Text states that the real names of these native American [Inuit] men were Tattannoeuck and Hoeootoerock meaning, respectively, the belly and the ear. The one called Augustus spoke English.Franklin's expedition sailed in Hudson's Bay Company ships to try to map the northern part of Canada and to discover a northwest passage by land. Midshipmen Hood and Back were attached to the expedition because of their scientific and artistic abilities. Hood was the primary surveyor and draughtsman; he died in September, 1821, shot by Michel Terohaute, a voyageur or guide. Finden, the engraver, took considerable liberties with the original drawings.Image placed horizontally on page.
