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.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - 'Tales of the Eskimo' offers a compelling firsthand account of the indigenous peoples inhabiting the Arctic regions during the early twentieth century. Authored by Henry Toke Munn, this work provides a detailed look into the lives, customs, and resilience of the Inuit, whom the author characterizes as a strenuous and cheerful people surviving in one of the world's most demanding environments.The narrative blends personal observations with ethnographic insights, capturing the daily struggles and triumphs of Arctic life. From hunting practices and traditional dwelling construction to social structures and folklore, Munn documents a culture in a state of transition. Accompanied by descriptive impressions, the text emphasizes the indomitable spirit of a community deeply connected to the frozen landscapes they call home.As a significant historical and anthropological record, 'Tales of the Eskimo' serves as an important bridge for readers seeking to understand the heritage of the North.

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.
