About This Item
London: MacGibbon & Kee , 1972. Signed by the author to title page. Duncan Pryde came to Canada from Scotland at the age of eighteen to work for the Hudson's Bay Company as a fur trader. He tells of his discovery of a remote and primitive way of life to which he found that he easily adapted. His story abounds in high adventure - incredible sled and canoe journeys, seal, polar bear and caribou hunts, breathtaking encounters with the beauty of arctic flora and fauna. Pryde speaks with authority of northern native life - the eskimos' birth, death and marriage rites, their age-old and amazingly effective hunting skills, their uncertain future in a fast-changing north. Illustrated with eight pages of photographs in full color. Map endpapers. Photo illustrated price-intact dust jacket.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Very Good.
