A New York Times review sketches Chauncey Loomis's Strange and Tragic Shores about Sir John Franklin's 1845 Arctic expedition and Charles Francis Hall's 1860 quest. It traces Franklin's disappearance, the later sea searches, and Hall's self made ascent from Cincinnati bootmaker to Arctic seeker, amid peril and belief.

Weird and Tragic Shores review of Hall biography
Loomis portrays Charles Francis Hall as a devout yet stubborn amateur explorer whose three Arctic expeditions, Civil War funding struggles, and final doomed polar bid under Grant shaped a dramatic life. The 1963 exhumation scene and arsenic poisoning discussion anchor a steady, unsensational account of a tragic figure. Police briefs note speeding fines in Carbondale De Soto and Murphysboro.

W T Bartlett Jr one of nine remaining U S engineers at a Cerro Golivar operation notes life locally and plans to stay. Government terms stress foreign investment but favor domestic control, while investment remains welcome under new conditions.
