Woodman also disputes the conclusion of Owen Beattie and John Geiger's book Frozen in Time that lead-poisoning was a major contributing cause of the disaster. Much of the Inuit testimony presented in Unravelling the Franklin Mystery has never before been published. The earliest Woodman quotes was recorded by Franklin searchers only nine years after the disappearance of the Franklin team. Inuit testimony provided Woodman with the pivotal clue in his re-construction of the puzzle of the Franklin disaster: I proceeded from the assumption that all Inuit stories concerning white men should have a discoverable factual basis ... [and] managed to discover a scenario which allowed use of all of the native recollections, solved some troubling discrepancies in the physical evidence, and led to some significant new conclusions as to the fate of the beleaguered sailors. Whether or not one agrees with Woodman's conclusions, his account is compelling and his analysis impressive.… (plus d'informations)

Introduction
On 28 July 1845 two British exploration vessls, HMS Erebus and Terror, manned by 129 intrepid officers and seamen under the command of Sir John Franklin, were seen disappearing into the ice-pack in Davis Strait by a lonely whaling ship.
Preface to the Second Edition:
Revisiting the
Fraklin Mystery

When the manuscript for Unravelling the Franklin Mystery was finished in 1988, and published in 1991, it was meant to be the end of a long but enjoyable research and writing project.
