Elisha Kent Kane, Restrained Victorian Man

This podcast was created for ANES 650: Top of the World by Camille M. Smalley. This podcast is Camille Smalley's interpretation of the sketches of Elisha Kent Kane's Second Grinnell Expedition of 1853, as they reflect, in her opinion, the continuum of masculinity in the early Victorian Period.
