"Farthest North" by Charles Lanman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book chronicles the life and explorations of Lieutenant James Booth Lockwood, particularly his role in the Greely Arctic Expedition, which sought to advance our understanding of the polar regions. It aims to provide insight into Lockwood's character and experiences as he navigated both the challenges of Arctic exploration and his military life. At the start of the narrative, the author presents Lockwood not only as a dedicated explorer but also as a man of notable character, detailing his early life, military training, and the formative experiences that shaped his adventurous spirit. The opening chapters lay a foundation for his expedition, addressing the circumstances surrounding the Greely mission and highlighting Lockwood's contributions and observations, which are meant to correct misconceptions about the expedition's achievements and challenges. His journey takes him from his childhood through military campaigns to the brink of his ultimate northward exploration, setting the stage for the dramatic events to unfold in the harsher environments of the Arctic.
