A biographical subject took passage on a vessel accompanying the Grinnell Expedition to the Arctic Regions.

The evidence

• “At 19, he began an academic course at the Whitestown and Cazenovia Seminaries, and from these he entered upon a course of teaching, and the money he obtained from this source was judiciously used in paying the cost of his early medical studies. By the time he was 21, his health gave way, and, as a means to_ restore it, he took passage on a vessel which accompanied the Grrinnell Expedition to the Arctic Regions, in 1849, and was absent six months, and during the time touched at many points in Greenland and Hudson Bay.”
