A centuries-old dream finding and sailing the Northwest Passage lured British Navy explorer John Franklin to decades of adventure and eventual tragedy across the mostly frozen top of North America. As a midshipman, he joined Admiral Horatio Nelson in momentous sea battles and was aboard the first ship to circumnavigate Terra Australis. His first arctic assignment was to sail a ship over the North Pole. While charting the previously unexplored arctic coast of Canada, Franklin was joined by young Richard Pearne of the fur-trading Hudsons Bay Company. The foster brother of a forlorn French-Indian child of the wilderness, Richard lived devotedly with her through experiences serene and terrifying. As time passed and he canoed the Northern rivers, his lovely little sister developed into a strikingly beautiful young woman and fell heir to a wealthy French estate. Sir John Franklin was recognized for his exploits throughout the civilized world. But his destiny awaited one more voyage Great Britains grand, final attempt to discover the Northwest Passage. In 1845, commanding two ships and 129 men, Captain Franklin sailed into the ice-encrusted Arctic Ocean and to his mysterious fulfillment of the Northwest Passage dream.

About the Author

Richard D. Olson, a graduate in journalism, began his career with the U.S. Geological Survey as a writer-editor. He continued in that capacity with the U.S. Navys Office of Naval Research and Naval Research Laboratory and with the National Science Foundations Office of Antarctic Programs. During his government service, he journeyed extensively through the high mountains and tundra of far northern Alaska, and he traveled through parts of Antarctica, following up on research conducted at U.S. stations. In a later year, by car and bush plane, he familiarized himself with the river-and-lake wilderness of Franklins travels through Canada. His study of the explorer and the Northwest Passage stemmed significantly from those experiences.

Easy to work with and processed claim very efficiently
I have purchased Asurion Insurance on many of my Amazon purchases. The insurance is usually a reasonable cost that I feel is worth the purchase in case of product malfunction. This was the first time I had to file a claim on a product. I was extremely pleased with how quickly my claim was addressed in this matter and it just reinforces my decision to purchase this insurance on future products.

Quick and easy claim process
We filed the claim and they sent us a return label within a day. I sent back the unit and in the same day, they issued a refund. Amazingly easy and fast. Will definitely use their warranty services again.

Definitely worth having the peace of mind of the support from the Asurion team.
Good value and mostly worry free. Took several more steps to complete than originally described. I had to resubmit material and pictures a few times before everything was finally accepted, but in the end I was satisfied with the results.

So worth it - painless
I decided to get the extended warranty for my Black & Decker hand vac. When it stopped holding the charge, I reached out to Asurion. First of all, I love how I don’t have to search through papers and emails to try to find my warranty. It’s right in my Amazon purchases. They immediately started a conversation via text message with me. It was so straightforward to get the information to them. Then they sent me a return label, then Bada Bing, Bada Bang, I sent back my malfunctioning hand back, and they sent me an Amazon gift card. I use the gift card to purchase a New Hands back because I can’t live without it. Everything went so smoothly and it was so quick I highly recommend it for any electronics that you rely on and you would replace if it became inoperable.
