Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. 12mo. 196pp. Frontis. port., b/w photo plates. Blue cloth gilt. Stories, both fiction and fact, of the Baffin Island Eskimo for whom the author has great affection.FROM OPEN POLAR: Munn came to Canada at the age of 22 and was nearly killed in a shoot-up in the streets of Montreal on the very day of his landing. He became a farmer and then a horse-breeder in Manitoba, and by 1894 he was hunting muskoxen and wood buffalo in the far northwest. He subsequently prospected around Kootenay, joined the Yukon gold-rush as a storekeeper, and acquired the title of "Captain" while serving in the South African war. . In 1914 Albert dropped off Munn and another man to trade and to search for gold just north of Baffin: that year was enough to convince Munn that there was no gold. Munn shifted his energies to trade. In 1916 he was left for a two-year stay on Southampton Island with six Eskimo families; in 1919 he visited his agents at several arctic posts but did not stay himself; and he spent the winter of 1920-1921 at Button Point, his original station north of Baffin Island. At the end of that stay, he found the Hudson's Bay Company moving north from Hudson Strait in such force that he could not compete, and Munn's backers soon convinced him to sell out . In the summer of 1923 he sailed in the HBC steamer to turn his Syndicate's assets over to its new owners, and a series of incidents intensified his longstanding dislike of the Company to a deep resentment, mixed with remorse at having to commit "his" Eskimos to the mercy of those he could not trust.In the early years of his retirement Munn not only encouraged others to break the monopoly of the Hudson's Bay Company, but he waged a constant propaganda war against it.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This captivating tale transports readers to the unforgiving realm of the Arctic, where a seasoned explorer's quest for gold unveils a chilling secret. The book plunges us into the heart of a remote and desolate wilderness, where the author encounters a group of enigmatic and elusive Inuit natives. As the expedition ventures deeper into the unforgiving terrain, a sinister force emerges from the depths, threatening the lives of the explorers. Interweaving elements of Arctic exploration, folklore, and the supernatural, this book explores the tenuous relationship between humans and the unknown. The author's harrowing encounters with the malevolent entities known as Tomega challenge our understanding of the boundaries between reality and the uncanny, raising questions about the nature of fear, resilience, and the human capacity for survival. Ultimately, this book offers a profound meditation on the indomitable spirit of the human race, reminding us that even in the face of unspeakable horrors, the thirst for knowledge and the bonds of human connection can prevail.
