Cold Burial, by Clive Powell - Williams

About Hornby and what leads up to his last winter in the barrens. Snow Man, by Malcolm Waldron is an earlier book on the same story. Where Snow Man romanticizes the story, Cold Burial tells a more straight forward and honest account of the Hornby tale.

The British liked to spin failures of men like Scott, Franklin, and Hornby into some great ascetical statement of their plunk, i.e. stiff upper lip, gentlemen to the end, moral superiority. Where the authors of these newer books show the wisdom of the native Inuit’s, who were mostly dismissed as Stone Age savages by the European at the time

I just finished reading this.  I had read Unflinching long ago, Edgar's actual diary found in the cabin stove.  Cold Burial fills in a lot of gaps in what led to the "adventure" and some bio on the adventurers.
Currently Unflinching is hard to find and expensive if you find a copy.  Another book about the same thing is Death in the Barren Lands, which I also have not found but I suppose on occasion one could locate a copy or at a bigger library???
