The author has detailed his life with the Northern Barren Eskimo during one year in which his prime objective was to hunt the big game of the vast region. In order to accomplish this, he had to gain the faith and confidence of the natives. He lived amongst them for that year, sharing their joys, privations, hunger, storms and hunting experiences. This is a very good book, written about hunting as it was experienced in the land of ice in the early 1900s.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
