The scarce account of the return of the Greely Arctic Expedition (also known as the Lady Franklin Bay Expedition), the living and those who died, to Portsmouth, New Hampshire on August 1, 1884, and of the municipal reception held on August 4.

Greely was soon joined by his wife, and later by the Secretary of the Navy William Chandler, and General Hazen of the Army Signal Corps. On August 4, there was a parade of Army and Navy officers, naval cadets, marines, police, politicians and bands. In the evening, a great reception was held at the Portsmouth Music Hall.
