His ship was the Endurance, but little did her complement know that their own Endurance would be tested to the full after the ship was trapped in the ice in the Weddell Sea late in 1915 and had to be abandoned. This was the beginning of a struggle for survival, with 28 men with three small boats striking out by sledge and boat across the hazardous Weddel Sea for Elephant Island.

Blue cloth covers with yellow titling in pictorial dustjacket. "This is ..... my principal reason for presenting [the personal histories] here. They are fragmentary compared with the book-length biographies obtained from a few Indians of the United States but they do show the personal aspects of those customs that anthropologists usually describe so impersonally, e. g. , marriage, adoption, the making of a hunter, and the child's instruction in religion and social relationships. We see in the reminiscences of several people, probably better than in one long autobiography, the variance in culture, even in a small isolated group. Also, it is hoped, we see not 'the Nunivak Eskimos' but individuals." Contents clean. Very Good Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram.
