Just finished this one last night. Another book about the Arctic, sailors and high adventure. What is it with me and the Arctic?
A great lesson on the changes wrought in Inuit life on Baffin Island during the great whaling era of the late 1800s. My sense of understanding about Inuit culture has greatly increased.
James Houston lived in the Arctic from 1948 to 1962, and was largely responsible for introducing Inuit art to the rest of the country. He has written several other books about his time in the Arctic.
