About This Item
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada: Hurtig Pub, 1986. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Clean, tight, unmarked; small scrape near upper spine extreme of dustjacket; personal gift inscription on false title page; otherwise absolute minimal wear; This is the story of the golden age of arctic exploration, from Martin Frobisher in the 16th century to the controversial Vilhjalmur Stefansson in the early 20th. It is a remarkable story of high adventure, of heroic feats of courage and endurance as well as dark episodes of murder and cannibalism. Drawing on the diaries, letters, and accounts of the explorers themselves, Francis reconstructs the vivid reality of travel in the North.
