A guide to Americana tells of a pioneer of the Northern Frontier whose legacy to future explorers is still valid. Well prepared, Kane joined the first Grinnell expedition, then leading the second himself , he turned to the open Polar Sea and Greenland. His journals reveal a keen mind. He returned to civilization to pass on his studies of adaptation to environment. Well handled.
