"The book is the narrative of the author's first two years in the Arctic. While it is written from the standpoint of a boy of 20 to 22, captivated by the romance of a new world, it is inevitably coloured by increased knowledge of the North acquired during the 4 years following as ethnologist of his own expedition to the Coronation Gulf country, when much of the time he lived alone with the eskimos."
