Schwatka's was probably the longest sledge journey ever made up to that time. With a small party of men, his dog sledges covered a distance of three thousand miles. Schwatka found the skeletons of several members of Sir John Franklin's party. These he buried on King William Land. In 1881 the De Long expedition, in the steam cruiser Jeannette, met disaster off the Siberian coast.

It was one of the great early railroads of Texas, beginning in the northeast corner of the state and gradually extending southwestward almost 600 miles, reaching Rockdale by 1873, Austin by 1876, then San Antonio, and eventually the Mexican border at Laredo in 1881. McGuire sat, collapsed into his corner of the seat, receiving with acid suspicion the conversation of the cattleman.
But after a lapse of many years, when almost everybody who had known the exact circumstances was dead, stories inconsistent with it obtained currency. Of these, the most remarkable was published in 1881, in a book widely read, the "Reminiscences" of the late Thomas Mozley. He had then gone to his house in the country.
