The Lorne Knight Diary, vol. 1

E. Lorne Knight (1893-1923) was a member of the failed Stefansson Arctic Exploration and Development Company expedition to Wrangel Island in 1921. Knight kept this diary during the expedition. The diary spans two volumes: volume 1 is dated Sept. 14, 1921–Dec. 31, 1922, and volume 2 spans Jan. 1, 1923–March 23, 1923, shortly before Knight died. The diary was picked up when Ada Blackjack, the expedition’s sole survivor, was rescued in August 1923.
