| Summary | "Narrative of a Journey to the Shores of the Polar Sea, in the Years 1819-20-21-22" by John Franklin is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book chronicles the expedition led by Captain Franklin to explore the northern coast of North America, focusing on the geography, climate, and indigenous people encountered during the journey.
