Book Description
'In the midst of much occupation, I have hastily thrown together, in the form of a narrative, this private family memoir, feeling assured that it will not only be read with deep interest, but much valued by the immediate members of the family, for whom it is principally intended. The extracts of correspondence are from letters, addressed by Captain Barrow, either to his Father or myself. If the selection is not altogether judicious, it is at least authentic, and I am willing to believe, that Dr. Johnson's remark, that "there has rarely passed a life, of which a judicious and authentic narrative would not be useful," may be favorably applied to the following pages, and that they may be found useful hereafter to any member of the family who may be brought up in the same honorable profession, in which the short life of Captain Barrow was spent, wherein he gained the esteem and respect of all with whom he served, by strict attention to his duties, a cheerful and implicit obedience to all orders, and an anxious desire on all occasions to uphold the discipline of the Service.' - John Barrow

Book Description
James Fitzjames was a hero of the early nineteenth-century Royal Navy. A charismatic man with a wicked sense of humour, he pursued his naval career with wily determination. When he joined the Franklin Expedition at the age of 32 he thought he would make his name. But instead the expedition completely disappeared and he never returned. Its fate is one of history's last great unsolved mysteries, as were the origins and background of James Fitzjames – until now. Fitzjames packed a great deal into his thirty-two years. He had sailed an iron paddle steamer down the River Euphrates and fought with spectacular bravery in wars in Syria and China. But Fitzjames was not what he seemed. He concealed several secrets, including the scandal of his birth, the source of his influence and his plans for after the Franklin Expedition. In this first complete biography of the captain of the HMS Erebus, William Battersby draws extensively on Fitzjames' personal letters and journals – most never published before – as well as official naval records, to strip away 200 years of misinformation and half-truths and enables us to understand for the first time this intriguing man and his significance for the Franklin Expedition.
