One of my other favorite topics to read is Arctic Exploration. In reading on the Greely Expedition , Robert Todd Lincoln received much criticism. Lincoln as Secretary of War under Garfield & Arthur was blamed for the handling of relief ships . He had encouraged US participation with other countries on collecting scientific data. But , he was not too keen on an actual expedition to the Arctic . I found material on the Internet which explains his attitude & criticism he received. Fascinating information to read & I just wanted to share this . Others I hope can add to this .
