Summary "L'expédition de la Jeannette au pôle Nord, racontée par tous les membres de l'expédition" is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book documents the ambitious Arctic expedition led by Lieutenant De Long, funded by the journalist James Gordon Bennett, featuring firsthand accounts from the crew members. It explores the preparations, experiences, and challenges faced during their quest to reach the North Pole. The opening of the account sets the stage for the expedition by detailing the backstory of the vessel "Jeannette," its naming ceremony, and the influential role of James Gordon Bennett in financing this bold endeavor. It introduces readers to key figures such as Lieutenant De Long, who has a background in previous Arctic explorations, and outlines the initial excitement and anticipation surrounding the mission. Through vivid descriptions, the narrative begins to capture the spirit of exploration and the potential perils that await as they set sail from San Francisco, emphasizing the blend of camaraderie and trepidation among the crew members before embarking on their formidable journey into uncharted icy territories.
