Reinhard Origins: Cyril Tawney's 'Lady Franklin's Lament' (49) RE: Origins: Cyril Tawney's 'Lady Franklin's Lament' 15 Feb 22

Gale Huntington wrote in his notes to "Franklin the Brave" in "Sam Henry's Songs of the people", where the name is Parry and not Perry:

Captain Parry, mentioned in the song, gave his name to Parry's Island in the Arctic. Captain Ross was Sir John Ross, who led an expedition in 1829 to the Artic and named King William's Island. He made a voyage in the Felix in 1850 in an endeavour to trace Franklin.
