Reports of foreign societies of awarding medals to the American Arctic explorers, Kane, Hayes, Hall This book, "Reports of foreign societies of awarding medals," by Kane, Hayes, Hall, is a replication of a book originally published before 1876.

Elisha Kent Kane (1820-1857) was an American explorer, and a medical officer in the United States Navy during the first half of the 19th century. He was a member of two Arctic expeditions to rescue the explorer Sir John Franklin.
He was present at the discovery of Franklin's first winter camp, but he did not find out what had happened to the fatal expedition.
