HIDDEN TRACKS ARCHIVE

A collection of all the writings from various blogs by William Battersby, collated as best we can.

​

William Battersby continued researching the topic and contributing to discussion even after his first book 'James Fitzjames: Mystery Man of the Franklin Expedition'. 

He was an active blogger on the subject and continued to share ideas online.

​

After he died they were at risk of being lost forever. Thanks to Frank Michael and Logan Zachary the notes were saved and they have now been archived here in the spirit of helping introduce others to the topic.  The posts are in order of original publication and include links  to the original page on Way Back Machine/ internet archive available online.

​

 William studied Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University of London (now part of University College, London) and graduated with First Class Honours. He was a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. He was also very interested in music and am a private pilot, flying a high performance Super Dimona motor-glider. William was convinced that multi-disciplinary research which combines archaeology, a proper understanding of Inuit family memories and archival research can yield a far better understanding of the Franklin tragedy."
