Another take
Another take on the Franklin disappearence. The facts are the same in every book I have read about the lost expedition, this one gives many more details and is quite well researched.

Another take on the Franklin disappearence. The facts are the same in every book I have read about the lost expedition, this one gives many more details and is quite well researched. The author paints Sir John Franklin and Lady Jane in a much better light than most accounts do and seems to discount other opinions put forth by other writers. The Franklin mystery will never be solved, which leaves the door wide open for conjecture. This book can be a slow read, and while the photographs are nice, I would have liked to see more maps other than just the two photographs of maps. A welcome addition to the Franklin lore.
