After his return to Raiatea he set forth on the other voyages to Samoa Tonga and the neighboring islands.Later he sailed to the New Hebrides; while visiting the island of Erromanga he was murdered by cannibals on November 20 1839.

‎WITTE STEPHEN S. & GALLAGHER MARSHA V. EDITORS. WILSON JOHN FOREWORD; SCHACH PAUL INTRODUCTION & TRANSLATION OF FOREWORD‎

‎The North American Journals Of Prince Maximilian Of Wied - Volume I: May 1832 - April 1833‎

‎University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2008. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. The most complete record of this major expedition ever to appear in English. Made famous through the paintings of Swiss artist Karl Bodmer the North American expedition of German naturalist Prince Maximilian of Wied in 1832-34 was the first scientific exploration of the Missouri River's upper reaches since the epic journey of Lewis and Clark almost thirty years earlier. Maximilian's journal has never been presented fully in English�until now. This collector's-quality oversized volume the first of a three-volume set draws on the Maximilian-Bodmer Collection at Joslyn Art Museum in Omaha Nebraska. The North American Journals offer an incomparable view of the upper Missouri and its Native peoples at a pivotal moment in the history of the American West. This meticulous account newly translated with extensive modern annotation faithfully reproduces Maximilian's 110 drawings and watercolors as well as his own notes asides and appendices. Volume I which covers May 1832 to April 1833 documents Maximilian's voyage to North America and his first encounters with Indians upon reaching the West. This is an essential resource for nineteenth-century western American history and a work of lasting value. Prince Alexander Philip Maximilian 1782-1867 was an explorer naturalist and ethnologist from the city of Neuwied Germany who first won acclaim for his expedition to Brazil in 1815-17. Stephen S. Witte is Editorial Coordinator for the Maximilian Journals Project of the Margre H. Durham Center for Western Studies Joslyn Art Museum. Marsha V. Gallagher Curatorial Advisor for the Durham Center has curated numerous exhibitions of western American art and is coauthor of Karl Bodmer's Eastern Views. William J. Orr a foreign service officer with the U.S. State Department has translated and edited numerous foreign-language documents pertaining to U.S. history. Paul Schach was Charles J. Mach University Professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures University of Nebraska Lincoln. Dieter Karch Professor of Modern Languages at the University of Nebraska Lincoln specializes in the history and dialects of the German language. John Wilson is Director of Curatorial Affairs Joslyn Art Museum. Translated into English from the German by William J. Orr and Dieter Karch. University of Oklahoma Press, Norman: 2008 hardcover‎

‎Montreal: McGill-Queen's University Press. Very Good. 1992. First Paperback Edition. Softcover. 0773509364 . Front card cover has crease on bottom foredge. Some underlining of text throughout book. ; A tight solid book. ; Mcgill-Queen's Native and Northern Series; Maps; 9.75 X 6.82 X 0.96 inches; 390 pages; "David Woodman's reconstruction of the mysterious events surrounding the tragic Franklin expedition boldly challenges standard interpretations and promises to replace them. Among the many who have tried to discover the truth behind the Franklin disaster Woodman is the first to recognise the profound importance of the Inuit testimony and to analyse it in depth. He concludes from his investigations that the Inuit probably did visit Franklin's ships while the crew was still on board and that there were some Inuit who actually saw the sinking of one of the ships. He maintains that fewer than ten bodies were found at Starvation Cove and that the last survivors left the cove in 1851 three years after the standard account assumes them to be dead. Woodman also disputes the conclusion of Owen Beattie and John Geiger's book "Frozen in time" that lead poisoning was a major contributing cause of the disaster.Much of the Inuit testimony presented in "Unravelling the Franklin Mystery" has never before been published. The earliest Woodman quotes was recorded by Franklin searchers only nine years after the disappearance of the Franklin team. Inuit testimony provided Woodman with the pivotal clue in his re-construction of the puzzle of the Franklin disaster: 'I proceeded from the assumption that all Inuit stories concerning white men should have a discoverable factual basis .and managed to discover a scenario which allowed use of all the native recollections solved some troubling discrepancies in the physical evidence and led to some significant new conclusions as to the fate of the beleaguered sailors'. Whether or not one agrees with Woodman's conclusions his account is compelling and his analysis impressive." . McGill-Queen's University Press paperback‎
