About This Item
1st U.S. Edition. B/W and colour illustrations and photos. Endpaper maps. "Eber tells a story drawn from oral memories, a story soon to disappear with the last Inuit generation to remember the great whaling vessels, Illuminated by a remarkable collection of drawings, photographs, and illustrations, many in full colour, here are tales of when the whalers first appeared on the northeast coast of Baffin island, how they set up land stations in the whale-rich waters of Cumberland Sound, and how they eventually pushed on into Hudson Bay."
Attractive d.j. with a drawing of Eager Hunters by Osoochiak Pudlat, reproduced by West Baffin Eskimo Cooperative. Rear of d.j. shows Captain George Comer and his crew with the "ERA" in the background, 1903. A. P. Low. (National Archives of Canada.)
