Elisha Kane (1820–57) was a renowned US Arctic explorer whose secret marriage to New York spiritualist Margaret Fox (1836–93) was controversial. After fighting the Kane family, Fox published the couple's correspondence in 1866. The resulting volume presents an intimate account of the courtship of two nineteenth-century public figures.
