Winner of the 2001 Drainie-Taylor Biography Prize.

An absorbing account of John Rae's incredible accomplishments and the undeserved and wholesale destruction of his reputation in polite Victorian society. Not long after he began reading the 820-page handwritten diary of the Scottish explorer, Ken McGoogan was determined to restore Rae's rightful place in history. Rae discovered not only the grisly truth about the lost Franklin expedition, but the final link in the elusive Northwest Passage. A smooth synthesis of adventure story, travelogue and historical biography, Fatal Passage is a richly detailed portrait illuminating one of the most harrowing eras in the exploration of Canada.
