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.

George Francis Lyon 1795-1832 was part of the great British explorers of the early 19th century. Under William Parry's second expedition in the Fury to find the Northwest Passage 1821-23 he commanded the Helca. This expedition spent two winters in the Arctic attempting to meet John Franklin's land expedition to the Coppermine River. The time allowed Lyon to spend time with the Eskimos and learn their language and culture This journal is considered one of the first anthropologist studies of the Eskimos. James Archibald Houston 1921-2005 was a Canadian artist and expert in Inuit art. His introduction to this book and pen and ink illustrations give the Lyon journal a focus as a thoughtful observer on the Inuit culture. Lyon wrote "I verily believe that there does not not exist a more honest set of people.". Houston suggests that "Lyon's journal is best read in tranquility if possible on a winter's night beside the fire for it is a daring account quietly told.". Imprint Society unknown books
