Description: A fascinating account of an American sportsman's year spent living and hunting amongst the Arctic's northernmost tribe. Illustrated throughout with the author's own photographs, and her in the first UK edition. The uncommon first UK edition of American sportsman, adventurer, and author Harry Whitney's account of the winter of 1908, which he spent in northern Greenland with the native Inuit, where he joined them in hunting musk ox, polar bears and walrus.This work is illustrated throughout both with reproductions of Inuit drawings, and many of the author's own photographs taken on the expedition. With sixty-four plates, and a folding map. Collated, complete.Whitney's time in Greenland is perhaps most memorable for the controversy in which he was embroiled in the spring of 1909, declining to take a side in the matter of whether Frederick Cook or Robert Peary had reached the North Pole first.In this revealing work, Whitney discusses the year he spent amongst the 'northernmost tribe', hunting big game, native life, and the immense struggle of the long arctic night. Rebound in full cloth, with the original cloth boards and back strip laid down, and endpapers renewed. Rubbing to back strip, with light marks to rear board and bumping to board perimeters. Internally, firmly bound. Pages lightly age toned to perimeters, with the occasional handling mark. To the head of a number of pages to the rear of the work is a light tide mark, not affecting the text Very Good
