Description:
Montreal, QC: McGill-Queen's University Press, 1995. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; very light wear to corners and edges of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; David Woodman re-evaluates the importance of Inuit oral traditions in the search to reconstruct the events surrounding Sir John Franklin's tragic 1845 expedition. He shows that previously misunderstood tales of white men travelling through Inuit lands may in fact refer to survivors of the Franklin expedition. In Strangers Among Us Woodman re-examines the Inuit tales in light of modern scholarship and concludes that Hall's initial conclusions are supported by the details of the Inuit remembrances, remembrances that cannot be explained by reference to other expeditions but are consistent with the Franklin expedition.

From the rear cover
In 1868 American explorer Charles Francis Hall interviewed several Inuit hunters who spoke of strangers travelling through their land. Hall immediately assumed that the hunters were talking about survivors of the Franklin expedition and set off for the Melville Peninsula, the location of many of the sightings, to collect further evidence to support his theory. Hall's theory was roundly dismissed by historians of his day, who concluded that the Inuit had been referring to other white explorers, despite significant discrepancies between the Inuit evidence and the records of other expeditions. In Strangers Among Us Woodman re-examines the Inuit accounts in light of modern scholarship and concludes that Hall's initial conclusions are supported by Inuit remembrances, remembrances that do not correlate with the travels of other expeditions but are consistent with those of Franklin's.
