Hall immediately jumped to the conclusion 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 stories and evidence to support his supposition. His theory, however, 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 tales in light of modern scholarship and concludes that Hall's initial conclusions are supported by Inuit remembrances, remembrances that do not correlate with other expeditions but are consistent with Franklin's.McGill-Queen's native and northern series ;10.Discoveries in geographyArctic regionsDiscovery and explorationBritishMelville Peninsula (N.W.T.)HistoryDiscoveries in geography.917.19/5041/0922Woodman David C(David Charles),1956-1468919MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782732203321Strangers among us3680290UNINA
