Afterlands
is a work of fiction. Although partially based on actual events, real people, and a published book—George E. Tyson’s
Arctic Experiences
(New York: Harper & Brothers, 1874; New York: Cooper Square Press, 2002)—the novel is an imaginative recreation of these sources and is not intended to be historically accurate.
The engravings reproduced in this book, from
Arctic Experiences
, are by J. O. Davidson (1853–1894).
