Strangers among Us by Woodman, David C

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.
