What Has Changed in the Last Century
Collier's wrote in 1921 that Charles Francis Hall "was taken suddenly ill, and died Nov. 8, 1871"; his shipmates' suspicions were never pursued in print. In 1968 the biographer Chauncey Loomis had the frozen grave at Thank God Harbor opened, and tissue, hair and fingernail samples showed large doses of arsenic in Hall's final two weeks — poisoning, whether murder or self-medication, is now the standard suspicion. The Franklin search that drew Hall north ended only recently: Erebus was located in 2014 and Terror in 2016. Of the others, Granville Stanley Hall — still alive when the entry was set — died in 1924 and is now remembered less for his books than as founder of the American Psychological Association and the man who brought Freud and Jung to Clark University in 1909; and the Württemberg saltworks town, then 10,000 people, is now Schwäbisch Hall (officially renamed 1934), a city of some 40,000 in Baden-Württemberg, the kingdom itself having vanished in 1918 and the state in 1952.
