Description

In the fifth volume of the In Those Days: Collected Writings on Arctic History series, Kenn Harper shares tales of European explorers who came to the Arctic seeking adventure, riches, and the elusive Northwest Passage, and Inuit they encountered there.

Inuit were invaluable in adding to Western knowledge of the Arctic, serving as guides, clothing-makers, and interpreters.

But not every meeting was friendly. This collection sheds light on Inuit who played a pivotal role in the expeditions of some of the most famous Arctic explorers, including the unfortunate John Franklin.

This volume also includes dozens of rare, historical photographs.
