Sinopsis

A Vindication of the Conduct of Captain Christopher Middleton offers a firsthand account and robust defense of Captain Middleton?s Arctic voyage aboard the HMS Furnace. Written in response to criticisms leveled by Arthur Dobbs, this volume meticulously addresses objections raised concerning the expedition?s objectives, findings, and Middleton?s leadership. Middleton details the challenges encountered during the search for the Northwest Passage, providing insights into 18th-century exploration techniques, navigation, and the harsh realities of polar expeditions. The appendix contains supporting documents and further elaborations on key points of contention, allowing readers to assess the validity of both Middleton?s claims and Dobbs?s counterarguments. This book is an invaluable resource for understanding the history of Arctic exploration and the controversies that often accompanied such ambitious endeavors.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
